In the book, Number the Stars, the above reference is figurative language that is referring to  the Jews during World War II, in what has become known as The Holocaust. The Jewish people were identified, gathered, imprisoned, tortured, and an overwhelming majority were killed. But 7,000 Jews were smuggled from Denmark into Sweden by courageous non-Jewish Danes, who refused to abandon their fellow Danes because of religion or fear.
