Review of Number the Stars

For Jewish Studies remote learning we read a book about a girl in the holocaust who does a lot to help send her Jewish friend to Sweden I am going to answer some questions about the book.

What is the most important lesson to learn from Number the Stars?                                                                 The most important lesson to learn from Number the Stars, is that you would/should do anything for your friends. I think this, because in the book, Annemarie Johansen (the main character: a 10 year old girl who has to save her best friend, Ellen from the Nazis) helps Ellen, even though she is scared, and could get caught.

Do you think that Number the Stars has anything to teach us about the protests going on right now?      I think that it teaches us, that if we fight for what is right, then, even if it takes a while, then things can and will change. I know this because World War 2 ended, and even though it was terrible for the Jews, and many others, it ended.

If you had advice for someone reading Number the Stars next year, what would it be?                                   I would tell them to think about how brave Annemarie was and how lucky we are, to not have to be worried about Nazis.
