I'm a little fuzzy on the details, but that sounds like Number the Stars by Lois Lowry.

Thanks.
I feel stupid for not remembering this, but only about a year ago I read a book aimed at younger readers that I actually remember a lot about, but not the name or character names. It took place during or right at the beginning of the Holocaust, I think it took place in Denmark, and it was about a ten year old girl who had blonde hair and so did her five year old sister, and they had an adult sister who had died at least a year before from a car crash or something, I think their dad didn't live with them. The ten year old's best friend was a Jewish girl with dark hair and they were trying to protect her. I remember a part where the five year old wished they could have cupcakes with pink frosting and sprinkles again. And a part where the Jewish girl had to pretend to be the other girls sister. And also the girls like lived in an apartment or something. Does anyone remember what this was called?
