 During World War II, a small town in Denmark did what it could to help save Jews from the Nazis. Anett and her family hid Jews in their basement for a few days until they could escape from the harbor. All the townspeople helped with food and other items needed by the families. When the family has to leave or be discovered, it is too cloudy for them to find their way to the harbor. How can the town come together to help.
