Day Nineteen

Today was an intense day in Number the Stars. The Nazis came to the Johansen's house in the middle of the night (4am) in search of Ellen and the rest of the Rosen family. Ellen said she was Lise Johansen, but the Nazis questioned her dark hair because Kirsti and Annemarie both have blond hair. Luckily Papa Johansen was quick on his feet and ripped out three baby photos (one of each girl). When Lise was a young girl she had dark curls, just like Ellen does. Papa had to rip the pictures out of the album because the Nazis would have seen the real Lise's birthday (she would have been 21) and Ellen is only 10. Thankfully, the Nazis couldn't argue with the picture so they left the house and Ellen is safe...for now...
