The Upstairs Room

The Upstairs Room is 196 pages of hardships a split up family had to go through in the Holocaust. Annie and Sini are split up from their other sister and father when they have to go into hiding because they are Jews. They lived the next few years of their life in an upstairs room, barely walking, talking, and going outside. A major setting in the story is the hiding place.
The hiding place is a major setting in the story. This is were Sini and Annie were squashed into to hide from the Germans. At one point in the story, the Germans are so close to them but didn't know they were there! It was a small almost cupboard-like space that they boarded up inside a closet so they would not be found. Miraculously, the girls made it out of the war to bring their family back together and start a "new" life.
