This novel is about three Jewish children who are separated from their parents in Nazi Germany and the aid and assistance given to them by anti Nazi Germans during the early 1940s. I was unaware of the existence of a Swedish clerical presence in Germany during the war years and of their assistance in aiding Jewish people in their struggle to escape the oppression by the Nazi regime. The book is easy reading and the depiction of the plight of the children is harrowing— especially the part when the bombing resulted in a fire threatening their lives. The maturity of the children despite their young age is astounding! This book should be required reading in our schools and I thank NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this book prior to publication.

Three Children in Danger is the first in the series Escaping from The Reich. Set in Berlin and based on true events of one of many escape routes, Mission Swedish Furniture. It is an interesting read, though a little slow to start as it builds the story. I was intrigued by the escape route, which i knew little about. The dedicated and planning from the organisers demonstrated bravery hope, courage, and determination. I’m looking forward to reading the next in the series. 3 ½ stars

I would like to thank the author, Book Whisperer and NetGalley for my free copy of this novel, in exchange for my honest review.

This is an amazing story of three children who try to keep hidden from the Nazis after their parents are deported, it will have you on the edge of your seat while urging them on at the same time.
Holler is the eldest at twelve and considers himself the man of the family, thus it’s his duty to look after his younger brother and sister, Hans & Herat. While they have the usual sibling quibbles their loyalty to one another is special, especially Holger.
When the three come to the attention of Phillip Baumann who works for the resistance he makes it his mission to see to their safety. The opportunity arises when his friends think up a risky plan to ship people out under the noses of the Nazis, when they discuss it with pastor Perwe of the Swedish Victoria church (who is used to hiding people) it’s agreed the children should go.
Countess Sophie Borsoi who has joined the resistance is part of the operation and when she gets stopped by the ss it put the whole thing in jeopardy, what will the outcome be?

I can’t recommend this book enough, it’s amazing, can’t wait for the next one!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ doesn’t do it justice.

This book is described as a "gripping historical novel"; gripping meaning exciting, holding attention or interest. Well, gripping is not a word I would use to describe this book.

While the story itself is based on true, important historical events, the writing style did not grab/hold my attention. It was a struggle to get through this book.

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read this ARC in exchange for my honest opinion/review.

This is a wonderful story. There is a good balance between factual information about the conditions of the time and the emotions felt by people including children. It is suitable for teenagers to read., understand and grasp the tensions of the times without being overwhelmed by the barbarism.
There is also enough in this story for adults and it is good to revisit the characters we met briefly in the Berlin wives series. In saying that, I would like to know most about how the children get on in Sweden. How they cope with their life there during and after the war.
The three children’s personalities come out clearly and we feel like we know them so well. We are given onsite in to their thoughts and feelings when things go well as well as when things go badly. I loved it so much I couldn’t stop thinking about the story and the characters. It is easy to ask the question: what would you do in these circumstances?
Thank you for writing this Marion. You have left me much to reflect upon. I look forward to the next book. .Thank you to book whisperer and NetGalley for the ARC. The views expressed are all mine, freely given.

this book is about threee Jewish children who were hidden during the World War. it's based on a true story.

I really do not know.why, but I really did not liove this book. . It was too many plot twist, and all the names got mixed UP. Thank you to netgalley for letting me read e arc in exchange for an honest opinion

This is a lovely story focused on three Jewish children who were hidden during the Second World War. The story includes escape lines across the Baltic Sea to Sweden- something not written about very often in these types of historical fiction. Based on true life events, it's a great read.

I’ve read alot of historical fiction books on ww2 and this one felt so bleh , so much plot and set up and a lot of names to remember ! I am thankful for the chance to read this book !

“Three Children in Danger” is a WWII historical fiction book by Marion Kummerow. This book follows three Jewish children whose parents are rounded up by the Gestapo. The children are taken in by friendly adults until one day even those people are rounded up. The three children manage to be found by the underground and eventually become part of “Operation Swedish Furniture.” If, like me, you’ve never heard of this plan, by reading Ms. Kummerow’s Author’s Notes at the end of the book, you learn a bit more about it. Doing an internet search, I had to look up the pastor’s name to find any information - so my reading cap is off to Ms. Kummerow for finding out about this man and the plan. I found the beginning of this book to be a lot of set-up; as this is the first book in a new series it’s not surprising, but I had a number of people’s names to keep track of and, sadly, while one person was used a bit in the end, that person was underused in most of the book that I forgot about them. Overall, this was an interesting book and it was good to learn more about Sweden during WWII.

Holger and his brother and sister are shipped from one house to another as the Gestapo looks for them after their Jewish parents are deported. Always they must be quiet, always they must remain unseen. They end up in a Swedish church but again must be quiet and must not let others see them. A plan by resistance fighters has them shipped in crates to Sweden but again they must be quiet. The story is about the children but also about the brave people who are trying to fight the Germans from inside Germany.

Three Children in Danger by Marion Kummerow. Three Children in Danger was a story about three children escaping to Sweden and some of the places and incidents that happened on their way.

4.25 ⭐️

i thought this book was excellent, the writing style was done well, and the characters were well-developed and memorable. the book tackles complex themes like anti-Semitism, resistance, and freedom. well worth a read if you enjoy historical fiction set during the Holocaust. similar titles include the girl from the resistance by imogen matthews and the resistance sisters by anna stuart
