~Happy Birthday to Tessa and Cameron!
~We met Annemarie and Ellen, our two main characters in Number the Stars! We met them racing on the streets of Copenhagen during WWII. They were stopped by Nazi soldiers for acting suspicious. Two 12 year old girls running on the streets looked suspicious? We also learned a little bit about the Danish Resistance and how they made life very difficult for the Nazis (Germans) during the occupation of Denmark. Kisrti seems to be the only one who is not bothered by the soldiers. I wonder why?
~The picture above is an actual picture of King Christian X riding on his horse, Jubilee, many children would follow the King on their bikes. The second picture is an actual copy of the Resistance newspaper DE FRIE DANSKE (The Free Danes). The regular newspapers were full of news the Nazis wanted you to know (lies). the Resistance newspaper was full of mostly truths.
