One of the German soldiers had turned, suddenly, and asked a question of a teenage boy nearby.
"Who is that man who rides past here every morning on his horse?"
"He is our king," the boy told the soldier. "He is the King of Denmark."
"Where is his bodyguard?" the soldier had asked.
The boy looked right at the soldier, and he said, "All of Denmarkd is his bodyguard."-20쪽
She turned to her father. "Papa, do you remember what you heard the boy say to the soldier? That all of Denmark would be the king's bodyguard?"
Her father smiled. "I have never forgotton it,"he said.
"Well," Annemarie said slowly, "now I think that all of Denmark must be bodyguard for Jews, as well"
"So we shall be," Papa replied.-33쪽
"That's the worst thing in the world,"Ellen whispered. "To be dead so young."-53쪽
