Narration Conducive To Books The Upstairs Room (The Upstairs Room #1)

In the part of the marketplace where flowers had been sold twice a week - tulips in the spring, roses in the summer - stood German tanks and German soldiers. Annie de Leeuw was eight years old in 1940 when the Germans attacked Holland and marched into the town of Winterswijk where she lived. Annie was ten when, because she was Jewish and in great danger of being captured by the invaders, she and her sister Sini had to leave their father, mother, and older sister Rachel to go into hiding in the upstairs room of a remote farmhouse.

Johanna de Leeuw Reiss has written a remarkably fresh and moving account of her own experiences as a young girl during World War II. Like many adults, she was innocent of the German plans for Jews, and she might have gone to a labor camp as scores of families did. "It won't be for long and the Germans have told us we'll be treated well," those families said. "What can happen?" They did not know, and they could not imagine... but millions of Jews found out.

Crit Appertaining To Books The Upstairs Room (The Upstairs Room #1)

This is a 1973 Newbery Honor book, an American Library Association Notable Children's book, a Jane Addams Peace Association Honor book and a winner of the prestigious Buxtehuder Bulle German children's book award.Taken from real-life experiences of the author, she tells the story of four years of confinement in a cramped attic room during the Nazi occupation of Holland. Eager to destroy the Jewish population, the Nazi's beat, brutalized and killed anyone willing to hide Jewish people.Bravely, a

This is the authors own story-written for her children-of what it was like to live in a single room for three years, hiding from the Nazis, and losing precious years of childhood. She was 8 years old when she went into hiding along with her teenage sister. Because she lived this story and is a fine writer, Johanna Reiss does an outstanding job of depicting what a life in hiding is like for a child, especially one who doesnt quite understand what is at stake. She also portrays her protectors-an

The upstairs room is about a girl that is Jewish and she is about 12 years old. The German war is going on, and she is hiding from the Nazis.I dont recommend this book I thought it was kind of boring but thats my opinion. If you are looking for a book that you can just sit down and read, read this one.I thought it was cool how they dyed their hair at the beginning of the story. I thought it was a good spot where they were hiding but I feel like they could have hidden better like in the walls or

This is the true story of 2 Jewish girls who go into hiding during WW2 and even though it is a "young adult" book, it held my interest and kept my eyes flying across the pages to find out what would happen to these poor girls next.

I really enjoyed this book. It is a true story, and I really liked the historical facts included. It does have some inappropriate language, so I would have to say that I recommend this to ages 13 and up. :)

I remember this book so fondly. I picked it up one day and it has been one of my favorite tales. The story is about two Jewish sisters hiding out in a trap room behind a closet in the upstairs room (hence the title) of a helping family during World War II. They were trapped in the room for months hiding however one day the sisters risked to be outside and felt the warm glistening of the sun. I have an attachment to the sun, it's warmth and sense of freedom it imbues. I could not imagine the

I had never heard of this little book, but happened upon it at the library while my kids were at storytime. It is a true story of two Jewish girls who lived with a Dutch family, secretly, for two years at the end of World War II. The story is told from the younger girl's perspective and is related simply without excessive emotion or excessive explanations. Without embellishment you see the way events unfolded for the Jews in Holland as they faced uncertainty and then great fear when the Germans
