- Nazi Detainment
- "Peter leaned forward. 'It is their way of tormenting. For some reason, they want to torment Jewish people.'"
- In the book, there are many fishermen who also helped to save the lives of people being hunted by the Nazis. Peter was an active member of the Danish Resistance, and Uncle Henrik was one of the fishermen who sailed people to Sweden for safety.
- Over 7,200 Jewish citizens of Denmark were saved because of the efforts of the Danish Resistance Movement. Fishermen did smuggle Jewish Danes to Sweden.
- People were collected from the streets and sent to detainment camps, simply for being Jewish.
- Nazis did hunt and imprison Jews. They segregated people based on religion, gender, and race. Many people the Nazis did not like were sent to prison camps.
