“He looked at her again, his deep blue eyes kind and questioning. You are angry,”, he said.”

    “Yes. Mama has never lied to me before. Never. But I know there is no Great-Aunt Birte. Never once, in all the stories I’ve heard, in all the old pictures I’ve seen, has there been a Great-Aunt Birte.”

     “How brave are you, little Annemarie?” He asked suddenly.

     “Not very,” she confessed, looking at the floor of the barn.

     “I think that is not true,” Uncle Henrik said. “I think you are like your Mama, and like your Papa, and like me. Frightened, but determined, and if the time came to be brave, I am quite sure you would be very, very brave.

  “But,” he added, it is much easier to be brave if you do not know everything. And so your mama does not know everything. Neither do I. We know only what we need to know.

  “Do you understand what I am saying?” He asked, looking into her eyes.

     She began to understand, just a little. “Yes,” she said to Uncle Henrik, “I think I understand”.

I think they have the jews personal information on the synagogue because the jews is so small that the pastors might want to keep his people safe.I also think the  name is on the synagogue because if they don’t come to the church often then the pastors will know they are in danger or sick .Then pastor will keep them  in pray.

This reminds me of  the movie of the “Lost Boy Of Sudan” , because Peter and santino were in the same circumstances as annemarie and mama they did not have food and they lost their families , houses etc because of the war and the had to ran away to survive and look for food.

I think Peter hid Ellen parents at the Denmark place where Annemarie's mom used to live near Uncle Herrick house .I think Ellen's parents didn’t go to uncle house right when Ellen got there because if they went to early without distraction they will be caught by solder.Maybe that's why uncle Herick made up a story saying AuntBurti is dead.
