By Lois Lowry 

Adolf Hitler: focused on the perfect race, the Jewish people were targeted but didn't understand why, military conquest

Because of Hitler...

  • The Rosen's thought they would be safe but were forced to leave their home due to their faith
  • The Johansen's had to decide if they were willing to risk their lives for the sake of their friends
  • All the people of Denmark, were left questioning what the soldiers were doing in their country and what their next move would be

Franklin D. Roosevelt: wanted to stay neutral in the war as long as he could, worked through the Great Depression, supplied Great Britain with materials, joined the war after Pearl Harbor in 1941

Because of ROosevelt...

  • The Rosen's are holding onto hope. It is 1943 and they are working to flee to Sweden
  • People like Peter and Lise, holding onto hope, were willing to die for their family members
  • The war would not go on forever...
