From Page 39 - Ellen stood on tiptoe again, and made an imperious gesture with her arm. "I am the Dark Queen," she intoned dramatically. "I have come to command the night!"

Ellen wore the Star of David on a chain around her neck. Annemarie had to break the necklace and hide it from the soldiers to keep Ellen safe.
"Ellen," she whispered urgently, "take your necklace off!"
Ellen's hands flew to her neck. Desperately she began trying to unhook the tiny clasp. Outside the bedroom door, the harsh voices and heavy footsteps continued.
"I can't get it open!" Ellen said frantically. "I never take it off -- I can't even remember how to open it!"
Annemarie head a voice just outside the door. "What is her?"
"Shh." her mother replied. "My daughters' bedroom They are sound asleep."
"Hold still," Annemarie commanded. "This will hurt." She grabbed the little gold chain, yanked with all her strength, and broke it. As the door opened and light flooded into the bedroom, she crumpled it into her hand and closed her fingers tightly.
