"Number the Stars" is based off the Holocaust and how Jewish families and citizens had to suffer through hardships because of Hitler and the Nazi Army. Annemarie, the 10 year old girl in the book is affected by the Nazi soldiers and has to save her best friends life because of it. There is no turning back as she hopes to save her friend, family, and the city of Denmark. The Holocaust affected millions of people especially jews. Adolf Hitler and the Nazi army led the Holocaust and affected many jewish families like Annemarie's. Today citizens and Jewish people are still being affected by the Holocaust in different countries around the world. Russian cities and and regions with Jewish populations are still being affected today by the holocaust from lower economic growth and wages. This is just one example from how citizens are still being affect by the Holocaust because of their religion or belief.

My book "Number The Stars" is about a 10 year old girl named Annemarie Johanesen who is dealing with problems in her hometown Copenhagen involving the Holocaust during WWII. "The Holocaust was the systematic, bureaucratic, state-sponsored persecution and murder of six million Jews by the Nazi regime and its collaborators" (Introduction to the Holocaust). Many families like Annemarie's were split up or affected by theses soldiers invading their country during The Holocaust. In my book the Holocaust in Germany is taking place during WWII and the characters have to deal with it. Perspectives from both my book and the Holocaust are coming from the citizens in Germany mainly jews who are being killed, seperated, and tortured by Adolf Hitler and his soldiers invading there country. Many of these citizens of Germany were affected by Adolf Hitler and his soldiers in both my book and the article. "For kirsti, the soldiers were simply part of the landscape, something that had always been there...There are German soldiers on every corner..They will remember your faces" (Number The Stars).
