Other editions of book BIRGITTE'S WAR by Schoenberger, Elsebeth

Birgitte’s War is the story of a young, innocent Danish girl who watches Hitler’s troops storm into her town in the spring of 1940. Within hours, Birgitte’s safe, secure world is turned into a nightmare landscape of brutality, murder and betrayal. Birgitte is outraged by the Nazi occupation of her town, but what can she do? She’s only 15! Then one of her favorite teachers is arrested and tortured. And then Birgitte gets even more ominous news: the Nazis are coming to arrest and deport the family of Nathan Meyer, the handsome, brilliant Jewish boy who is Birgitte’s closest pal. Consumed by anger and fear for Nathan and his family, Birgitte makes the decision that will transform her life and loves: she joins the Danish Resistance.
