What religion do the Rosen's practice? Explain why that is a problem.

The Rosens are Jewish. The Nazis are arresting Danish Jews and placing them for relocation. This means that they are to be taken to concentration camps.

"This morning, at the synagogue, the rabbi told his congregation that the morning, at the synagogue, the rabbi told his congregation that the Nazis have taken the synagogue lists of all the Jews. Where they live, what their names are. Of course the Rosens were on that list, along with many others." "Why? Why did they want those names?" "They plan to arrest all the Danish Jews. They plan to take them away. And we have been told that they may come tonight."
