The Whispering Town | 
pickA well written picture book based on WW2. I say roughly suitable for 7 to 9 year olds and though the topic is heavy it isn‘t too explicit about what happened during the holocaust.

A children‘s book, yes. But the first I came across when I was searching Libby for Denmark.

pick#StorySettings Day 25: From Fats‘ review: “The story focuses on a Danish couple and their daughter named Anett. Anett and her parents are hiding a Jewish woman and her son in their #cellar. ‘They are new friends,‘ said Anett‘s mother. Because their new friends would be staying with them for a couple of nights, Anett‘s mother made sure they had enough food.”

As Fats noted: “The story of The Whispering Town is loosely based on the events that happened in a small fishing village of Gilleleje. According to the Author‘s Note, about 1,700 Jews escaped from the Nazis through the help of the people of Gilleleje.” Her review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-cV4
