He tried to touch Kristi's hair, but then Kristi screamed "DON'T!" After the soldiers let the girls go, Annemarie and Ellen swore that they wouldn't tell their mothers. Annemarie was going to tell Kristi not to tell their mother, but Kristi was already in their apartment going on and on about the story.

Pages 50-74 synopses:

The Nazi Soldiers are checking people to see if they are a jew. So Annemarie's parents decide to take her syblings and Ellen to her Uncle Henrik's village called Gilleleje. It is a safer area because it is very close to a coast that you could go to Sweden by boat in it. Kirsti almost blurted out to a soldier that Ellen was celebrating her new year. And that would give proof to the soldier that she was a jew. Instead Kirsti showed him her new black, shiny shoes. Annemarie and Ellen loved the new village they were in. It all looked beautiful. They looked over the sea and saw Sweden. They were playing with the little kittens. Then they started on a plan to save the jews.

The Johansens had a funeral for their 'fake' Great Aunt Birtie. They have many people at their house when Nazi soldiers come and knock on their door! The Nazis ask them to open the casket where Great Aunt Birte was supposed to be. Mrs. Johansen thought fast and said that ' Great Aunt Birte ' Died of typhus so the Nazis didn't open it because they didn't want the disease. Then the Nazis left. Just as they left Mrs. Johansen opened up the casket to reveal folded jackets and coats for everyone for the journey across the sea to Sweden. Then Mrs.Johansen gave everyone a jacket or a sweater for the cold winter. Since Mrs.Johansen Grew up in Uncle Herik's village, she took the Rosens (with Uncle Henrik) to the port so that the Rosens (because they are jewish) could take a boat to Sweden to be safe from the Nazis.

Pages 113-132:

Annemarie had just gotten stopped by four armed Nazi soldiers on her way to giving her Uncle Henrik's lunch to him ( with the extra package). The soldiers had dogs that were hungry. Then one soldier asked, "What's in the basket?" Annemarie thought of what her mother said, "If you ever meet a soldier, act like a foolish little girl." So that is what she did. She tried to act like Kirsti. She made comebacks like Kirsti would. Then the soldier's dogs smelled meat. The soldiers picked up a marijuana coated hanker chief, and the dogs retreated their smell for meat. After Annemarie got away from the soldiers, she gave the basket to her Uncle Henrik with what was left of the food that the Nazis didn't take. She told him that her mom was scared for him and asked if she would ever see the Rosens again. Uncle Henrik said yes, but when the war was over. By the time the war was over, Annemarie was twelve. They were done.
