#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.”

#AnglophileApril Day 17: A #CarelessWhisper may be considered dangerous in this historical fiction depicting Jewish life in Nazi-occupied Denmark. 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

Cinfhen Last year on Yom Hashoa ( Israel‘s National Day of Holocaust Remembrance) I attended a talk given by an older man who was a boy rescued by this town. It was a deeply moving story of such courage and bravery about this village. 5y
