Do you think the Nazis will come to the Johansons' apartment? Do you think they will realize Ellen is a Jew and take her? Answer why or why not.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the soldiers from Osterbrogade
Deletewill come and realize that they saw them before and k ow they are not sisters.
They didn't see the Johansens at the sinogoge so chances are, they wont.
DeleteI understand where you are going with your question and I think the same thing too.
DeleteDo you think that if the German soldiers come they will know that they are not sisters.Yes or No
ReplyDeleteNo, if the giraffe neck comes he'll tell. Or they might realize they just look plain old different.
Deleteyes because the two soldiers on the corner already knows that they are not sisters and so they will take Ellen.
DeleteIF it is the soldiers from Osterbrogade they will if they are different soldiers they may not
DeleteIf the long neck soldier comes he will know because in the first chapter Annemarie said that Ellen and her were FRIENDS!!!
DeleteNO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DeleteDo you think the Nazis will know that Ellen is a Jew? Answer yes or no and the tell why.
ReplyDeleteMaybe if the soldiers from Osterbrogade come they'll tell they're different.
DeleteThey might ask her name but she will probably say Ellen Johanson not Ellen Rosen. So, no.
Deletethey probably will not because ellen is pretending to be a johanson and not a rosen so they may believe her except if it is the two soldiers from osterbrogade because when they asked annmarie who ellen was she said:
Deletethat's my friend ellen
so they may know
Do you think the Naizs will fined out Ellen is a JEW?
ReplyDeleteAnswer yes or no.
Yes, they probably will.

DeleteMaybe.
DeleteDo you think that Nazis will discover the ileagle newspaper and kill Peter? Why or why not.
ReplyDeleteThey might. If a Jew is reading it and then a Nazi soldier just bursts on in and threatens to kill if he doesn't tell who made it. Then they will kill Peter when they find him.
DeleteI think the Nazi's will find out about the newspaper but not find Peter.
DeleteI bet the Natzis will find out about the newspaper and take down the people who publish it, like Peter.
DeleteDo you think the Ellen will get hurt and her family too?
ReplyDeleteEllen would only get hurt if the Nazis take her. There is a big chance her parents will be taken away.
DeleteI think the "Giraffe" will come to the apartment and take Ellen away.
DeleteWere do you think Peter took Ellen's parents? Why didn't he take Ellen with them?
ReplyDeleteIt would be safer for Ellen to stay. I think Peter took them to Sweden where the Nazis did not attack.
DeletePeter took Ellen's parents but not Ellen because 3 people would be to hard to hide
DeleteDo you think the Johansons made a good plan? Can you make a better one?
ReplyDeleteA better one would be dye Ellen's hair blonde so she would resemble Annemarie and they could be twins. Otherwise, the plan is good.
DeleteExplain the plan...
DeleteYour right Mary because sisters look alike and if they dye her hair blonde and if they made Ellen wear AnneMarie's clothes it would be like they shared things like clothes.
DeleteAll the Rosens stay with the Johansons. They dye/bleach their hair blonde and say they are non Jewish people coming in from Norway.
DeleteThere plan is pretty decent.
DeleteWhat will happen to Ellen
ReplyDeleteEllen's secret might get revild that she is Jewish and might get taken away.There parents might not let them take Ellen away so they fought back.
DeleteI think she will be captured or taken to Sweden I think it was.
DeleteWhy haven't the Nazis tried to kill the king?If they do what would Denmark do about it would they fight or not?
ReplyDeletethey would fight because Denmark is his bodyguard.
Deletedenmark would fight them if they tried to kill the king because all of denmark is his bodyguard and they would all die for the king.
DeleteDo you think that the same German soldiers from the corner will come into the Johnson's house and remember they are not sisters but they are friends?
ReplyDeleteNo because they have to patrol the corner 24/7
DeleteWhat do you think the Nazis will look for first if they find Ellen? Why
ReplyDeleteDo you think the German soldiers will come to Annemarie's house? Do you think The soldiers will take Annemaries's family if they come to her house and thind they are Jews?
ReplyDeleteHow do you think the Germans will know where to look for the Jewish Danes? If you were looking for someone of a certain religion, how would you find them?
ReplyDeleteMaybe you could look near synnagoges or supicious looking people might know. Or they could threatens the people and make them tell the Nazi's.
DeleteMaybe by there clothing or since it was the Jewish New years I would look in houses with people celebrating. Also the Nazi's did get a sheet with all Jewish peoples information on it.
DeleteThey will look for people with the Star of David. Once they find some Jewish people, they will search for friends and relatives of them.
DeleteThe star! But Jews probably try not to where them. Or by the kippah that jewish men wear.
DeleteDo you think that the Nazi's will find out Peter is out after curfew and take him away? Why or Why not?
ReplyDeleteMaybe we should be asking.... Why is Peter out after curfew?
DeleteWhat is he doing that is worth the risk of being caught by the Nazis?
DeleteHes out after curfew to deliver a illegal newspaper but he spends most of his time with the Johansons. The illegal newspaper is called De Frie Danske.
DeleteDo you think the soldiers they ran into the other day will take Ellen away because Annmarine said they were friends not sisters
ReplyDeleteThat's what I thought would happen because I think it would be more interesting to the reader to find out more about the two corner solders. Also Annemarie said they were kind of nice so do you think the soldiers will follow their duty or their heart. What do you think Gabe?
DeleteWhat do you think will the germans think if they saw Annemarie and Ellen in bed together pretending that they are sisters?
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think happened to Mrs. Hirsch?
ReplyDeleteI bet she got taken away by the Germans and MURDERED!
DeleteI agree with Michael that she got taken by the Germans. I think that she's a prisoner though.
DeleteThey either took her to a ghetto, took her to a concentration camp or, like Micheal said she was murdered.
DeleteDo you think that the Nazis will come in Annmarie's house and take Ellen and then Annmarie will have to save her or do think that they will get away with it? Also if you think the Nazis will come what do you think would happen if the soldiers they met before came?
ReplyDeleteI think the Nazis will eventually find out that Ellen is a Jew, but Annemarie will fight back! I would do that for my best friend! The soldiers the two girls met before might tell other soldiers that Ellen is good in school and that they aren't sisters! So shocking!

What if they think the Johansons' are Jews? What do you think will happen?
ReplyDeleteIf the Johansons are thought to Jews they may be taken away or " " unfortunately if they find out that Ellen is Jewish which they didn't.
DeleteI think the Germans will take them away.
DeleteThere is the star of David on the front cover, where do you think that comes into play? Is that how the now Ellen is a Jew and the Nazis take her away.
ReplyDeleteWhy do you think they put Annemarie on the cover and not Ellen or Kirsti? Explain.
ReplyDeleteAnnemarie is more of a main character, Ellen and Kirsti more secondary.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteIn the attic. Scarred white. (literally).
ReplyDeleteWhy do you think that Mama and the others like the Deer Farm so much? Does it represent something in the past, present, or future? Explain. I'd like to see some good answers!
ReplyDelete-Taykbleaf
I would hide in the chimney. Very smokey but, stay alive and hide in a chimney or be sent to a ghetto? Or in Anne Frank: The Diary of A Young Girl her family slowly prepares to go into hiding by knowing where they will go and slowly bringing their belongings to their hiding spot. They hide in an annex of their friend's office building.
ReplyDeleteImagine. Giraffe neck and his partner came to the Johansons'. How would they hide Ellen is Jewish?
ReplyDeleteThe back cover of the book says Annemarie will have to risk her life to save her friend. Who do you think the friend is? Ellen.....or is it someone else?
ReplyDeleteDo you think the Arthur will call Annemarie a part of the under ground resistance.Why
ReplyDeletedo you think that the Johansons will get Ellen to safty, why or why not?
ReplyDeleteHi Evie! long time no see! Very good question; I think the Johansons can get Ellen to safety if they create a smart plan but they will have work together in order to successfully save her.
DeleteDo you think Henrick will take Ellen Kirsti and Annmarie to Sweden so they can be safe.Yes or No and Explain.
ReplyDeleteSo the other people will be sad because they don't have their butter and they take the butter maybe to feed the soldiers.
ReplyDeleteWhere are Ellen's parents?
ReplyDeleteWhat if Great Aunt Birtie is on of Ellen''s parents? What do you think will happen?
ReplyDeleteIf you knew Nazi soldiers were looking for you and people of your kind what would you do?
ReplyDeleteHi Mary!
DeleteIn many ways, you could consider all of the Jews as being friends with eachother. Their common characteristic of being Jewish helped them get through the times. Often, people who were escaping helped eachother even if they did not know them. They were all in the same situation and NOT working together wouldn't help them at all!
Why do you think that mama lied to Annemarie? Explain.
ReplyDeleteHi Joey!
DeleteFor many families in Nazi Germany, it was a struggle to decide what to share with kids and what to keep a secret. It could make them much more nervous to hide, and it was VERY important for them to cooperate when their families were in danger. Imagine living in a dark room. Would you want to know information about the warfare going on outside and the struggles of people dying? Probably not, since you are already stressed. It would be much better to live your life (even if you may die soon) in celebration and joy, rather than in pain and solitude.
It would be hard to live all cramped up where nobody knows about you, but if you were a Jew and you lived like everybody else, you would probably die, but it might be worth it if you didn't care about dying. If you did hide and never came out until it was safe, you'd probably live, and think that it was worth it. It depends on who you ask.
DeleteDo you think the Nazis will fined out about Ellen escaping? yes or no.
ReplyDeleteplease reply to this question.
I'm not sure,but I think no.
DeleteDo you think Ellen will be sent to Sweden? How do you know this will happen? ;D
ReplyDeleteDo you think the aunt is fake so German soldiers wont look in the coffin to see Ellen if she hides in there
ReplyDeleteI think The Germans are going to look in there and find a trap waiting for them.
Deletegood thinking erik
DeleteThat might be it, but what would the trap be? A boxing glove or something? I think that the coffin has a secret door underneath it and when the soldiers step on the loose step, it triggers a warning that the soldiers are there and so Ellen can go through the secret door and the soldiers won't know where she is.
DeleteMicheal did you read a head
DeleteMichael I agree with you about a trap in the coffin.
Deletehey Erik do you think the nazis will come to Henrick's house
Deleteyes I think they will cause of the missing rosens
DeleteI'm not Erik, but I bet for sure the Natzis will come to Henrik's house.
DeleteYeah well the author wants to add some suspense to the book to keep the reader reading
DeleteDo you guys think the Nazis will realize the trap?
DeleteSpeaking of the missing Rosens, I bet that sooner or later the Germans will investigate Henrik's house, just to check that the Johansens aren't there.
DeleteWho do you think is Aunt Birte,a fake or Annmarie just doesn't who she is? Do you think she'll find out or forget about it?
ReplyDeleteDid you find out the secret code yet???????????????????????
ReplyDeleteDo you think that Ellen will meet back up with her parents, if so how, and if how when?
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteHer parents will be dead or Ellen and her parents will meet up
DeleteThey will probably meet in sweden
DeleteI think her parents were sent to Sweden and Ellen is going to be sent to Sweden on the all night cruise with Uncle Henrik.
DeleteWho do you think was Aunt Birte? Do you think it is a signal or a code?
ReplyDeleteI think Aunt Birte is not Annmarie's aunt but she helps Jews like mama.I think it might be a signal.
DeleteWhat do you think will happen if Annemarie and Ellen talks to Henrik's friends?
ReplyDeleteI think he is hiding a little friend?????.
DeleteWhat do you think the loose step on Henrik's stair is for?
ReplyDeleteI believe that it may be a trap for the Nazis or maybe it could be for Ellen if you flip the stair upwards so when the Nazis pass by they will just assume that its a loose stair as it supposedly is.
Deletemaybe thats a place that henrik hid Jews!
DeleteI wonder if the Nazis had no mercy against the babies? If you had a Jewish friend what would you do to help them?
ReplyDeleteIt depends what kind of friend it was. If that friend was kind of mean, I might not save them. However if it was a good friend, I might hide them in my house until we found someone who could help them get out of the country.
DeleteDo you think Ellen will find her parents or are they captured. could one of Ellen's parents be Aunt birte.???
ReplyDeleteAs you might know, butter is made of fats. In the time of the war, meat and fat were valuable, they provided protein and nutrients that were necessary to survive. When they took away the butter, it was another step they were taking to try to starve them.
ReplyDeleteWho do you think is really died?
ReplyDeleteI don't think anyone really died. Uncle Hendick is probably using it as a hiding place for Ellen so if the Nazis come to his house Ellen can hide in the casket.
DeleteOut of all foods why do the Nazis want butter and unhealthy sugar?
ReplyDeleteDo you think the Natzi's will find Ellen?
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think the EMPTY casket is for?
ReplyDeleteWhy do you think everyone was sad if no one was in the casket
ReplyDeleteThey might have been faking it because if the German soldiers had came and everyone was happy and you told them somebody had passed away the German soldiers would have been suspicious.
DeleteThey might of been quiet because they did not want any one to know they were there.
DeleteDo you think the soldiers will come back and find out nothing in the cascit?Reply why or why not
ReplyDeleteNo.Because when they opened the casket and saw the jackets and blankets a man said take them its going to get cold.So if they did come back it would have been to late the people would have been gone.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think that they are going to do with all the blankets and clothes in the casket?
ReplyDeleteWhy was Henrik going to the boat at night?
ReplyDeletemaybe he was getting ready to drive the rosens to sweeden!!!
DeleteI do think the people at Uncle Henrik's house are Jews.
ReplyDeleteNo I do not think the German soldiers will come back because the mom said that Aunt Birte had Typhus when she passed away and if somebody died with Typhus the germs are still on them.
If you were annemarie , how would you react if ellen was taken? would you drag her back, and have your father kill them?( if that makes scense)
ReplyDeleteWhat will Peter do with the clothes and the Casket?
ReplyDeleteDo you think that in the morning the Nazis will come back
ReplyDeleteOk so what do you think will happen next chapter
DeleteI wonder why Uncle Hendrik went to the boat at night?
DeleteN0!
DeleteWhy did Annemarrie's father ask his Uncle Henrik if the day is good for fishing?
ReplyDeleteWhere do you think Ellen's parents were?
ReplyDeleteEllen's parents probably were on the run, walking or riding train from town to town. They probably ate at the town's local restraunts and bought food from small stores.
DeleteWhat do you think all the people in Uncle Henrick's house will go?
ReplyDeleteI mean where.
Deletehome?
DeleteWhen the Nazis shut the car door do you think it was real or they left some Nazis to watch what was happening?
ReplyDeleteDo you think the Johansons and Ellen will get in trouble with the Nazis again?
ReplyDeleteWhere will everyone in Uncle Henrik's house go and why are they wearing coats?
ReplyDeleteThere wearing coats because its cold out
DeleteWho were the people at the house? (predict) Explain why.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteI bet that all the people at Henrik's house were resistance fighters. Do you think they survive?
ReplyDeleteI think they will because they probably are experienced.
DeleteThey were either Jewish or resistance fighters
DeleteThey probably did survive, because there are no German soldiers in Sweden, and there are probably no German soldiers on boats. But, German soldiers could have caught them on the Denmark, but I wouldn't think so.
DeleteDo you think the Nazis ever find out about the secret drug the fishermen use?
