My perspective of the Nazi soldiers by Bella

I think that the Nazi soldiers are very mean. To me tracking people down if they have a different religion is very mean! The Nazi soldiers have no right to storm through peoples houses and towns looking for Jewish people like Ellen`s family.

What is happening in Denmark during the year of 1943? by: Matt During this time Jews of all ages were being re-located . 5.7 million Jews died during World War II .

Only some of the many Jews survived World War II.

My perspective the Jews leaving on Uncle Henrick`s boat. By: Kyleigh

I am happy that all the Jews are leaving on uncle Henrick`s boat because it will help the Jewish people escape from the war to freedom. It makes me feel like a hero to know that.
