I've heard stories about the Danish resistance, but never a first-hand account like this. How far from the truth did you stray? Just curious. Good luck in the contest.

Chris, thank you so very much. I didn't stray at all really. All happened as I've written. My mother told me all of this. All I've done is to tell it as a piece of fiction. Everything in the story is exactly as it happened. There were numerous stories like this. I had other close reatives who were in the resistance and a couple of them lost their lives to it. I'm born in 1952 and grew up with the it all being told to me. Thank you so much and for the recognition. All the best. Ulla:)))

It's still hard for me to imagine such heinous crimes against humanity, and how people could ever become so callous and evil to torture and kill innocents. True stories seem to really hit home, just knowing someone really suffered these tragedies. Great job. :-)

My parents had friends who were survivors of the Holocaust. They were tiny children but they still remembered the horrors. Thank you for sharing this contest entry. Good luck.

Hi Ulla,
this is a chilling story. What an awful way to live. To literally be afraid for ones life is unthinkable and those poor children. What must that have done to them. You tell a great story and it was very moving.

Thanks a lot, Nancy. It was the contest that brought all this along. I wasn't born until many years after that war, but was brought up with all the memories. As a child I've visited some of the most notorious concentrations camps and it left a deep impression with me. Something I can never forget. Thanks again for a gret review. Ulla:) xx

Great story about a terrible time in history. One point, you use SS in a couple of places close together. Hitler was a demon, but he had a way with naming things. Why not us Storm Troopers in one case?

Thanks so very much. I use the SS because that's how they were known as in Europe. They were the most dreaded. They cannot be called something else. Sorry. I much appreciate your comments. All the best. Ulla:))

This is an astonishing true story. Your family was fortunate to get away from the germans, it seems. It is hard to imagine living in those times

You have written a very powerful story. I have enjoyed reading it very much. Elise is a very likable character.

I'm also entering this contest.

See some typos below:
You forgot an apostrophe: the morning 's happenings

I think it should be resistance groups instead of resistant.

A piece of paper had been thrust, not trust.

She lifted her hand to her mouth, not the mouth

What do you mean by ward rope? Wardrobe?

You wrote pushed her to aside instead of a side.

Instead of she left out a breath, it's she let out.

Good luck in the competition.

Thank you so very much and I've made the corrections. Don't know how I got the 'wardrobe' wrong though. I'm glad you liked the story. All the best. Ulla:)))

Happens to all of us. Take care.

It's wonderful to hear true heroic stories. Your mother was extremely brave. I was so worried that Marianne would cry.
The evacuation that you mention in your notes is a credit to the Danes who risked their lives in the resistance. Thank God they saved 99%.

-she didn't even (start) to cry
-ward rope (wardrobe)
-sink(,) so it looked

Good luck in the contest.
