From the Newbery Medal winning book By Lois Lowry
Directed by Cynthia Levin
Lois Lowry’s story of the rescue of the Danish Jewish population during World War II is one of the most inspiring in human history. The Johansen family faces soldiers, interrogations, fierce dogs and the loss of loved ones to help their neighbors, the Rosens, escape across the sea to Sweden and safety.
