Critically acclaimed Sibert Honor author Deborah Hopkinson brings
to bold life the remarkable story of the Danish resistance and
rescue of over 7,000 Jews during WWII. When the Nazis invaded
Denmark on Tuesday, April 9, 1940, the people of this tiny country
to the north of Germany awoke to a devastating surprise. The
government of Denmark surrendered quietly, and the Danes were
ordered to go about their daily lives as if nothing had changed.
But everything had changed. Award-winning author Deborah Hopkinson
traces the stories of the heroic young men and women who would not
stand by as their country was occupied by a dangerous enemy.
Rather, they fought back. Some were spies, passing tactical
information to the British; some were saboteurs, who aimed to
hamper and impede Nazi operations in Denmark; and 95% of the Jewish
population of Denmark were survivors, rescued by their fellow
countrymen, who had the courage and conscience that drove them to
act. With her talent for digging deep in her research and weaving
real voices into her narratives, Hopkinson reveals the thrilling
truth behind one of WWII's most daring resistance movements.
