=Welcome to our Number the Stars Wiki= Lois Lowry turned to personal experience and memory for inspiration in the writing of her Newbery Award winning **[|Number the Stars]**. Annemarie Johansen is based on Lois's real life friend Annelise. She used the role played by Annelise and her family during the occupation of Denmark to bring some awareness of the Holocaust to a slightly younger than usual audience. Here the characters, especially Annemarie, call on courage they didn't know they had to help a Jewish family escape. = **[|Lois Lowry] ** = = **[|Number the Stars On Line Questions] ** = =[|Hans Christian Andersen]= = **[|Denmark in Brief]** = = **[|Ill Holocaust Museum]** =
