What is Twenty And Ten about?
<p>"If we take these children, we can never betray them, no matter what the Nazis do."<p>During the German occupation of France, twenty French children were brought to a refuge in the mountains. One day a young man came to their school with a request: Could they take in, and hide, ten Jewish refugee children?<p>Sister Gabriel spoke up. "The Nazis are looking for those children. If we take them we must never let on that they are here. Do you understand?"<p>Of course the children understood - but how would they hide them if the Nazis came?</p><h3>Mailbox Magazine - Deborah Zink Roffino</h3><p>Originally published in 1952, this story is set in German-occupied France during World War II.
