* {{Losing The Team Spirit}}: After the incident with [[spoiler: Lukas]] the whole group seems to suffer a severe {{heroic BSOD}}
* {{Manly tears}}: Jurgen on a few occasions.
* {{Master Race}}: The attitude of the Nazis.
* {{Morality Pet}}: Annika becomes one to Laura.
* {{No Name Given}}: For awhile after meeting each other, the characters only know each other by their numbers. Finally Lia introduces herself because she doesn't want them to die as strangers. Most of the others quickly follow suit, but [[spoiler: Laura]] refuses to give anyone her name. She does eventually tell Annika (after some persuasion), but it's long after the others have done so.
* {{No periods period}}: Averted at the beginning but played straight and justified later as the women are so starved they stop ovulating,
* {{Not so Stoic}}: Eleny. Most of the time she's a model of self-control. Through most of the story she rarely visibly gets upset or panics, and is probably mentally the strongest of the group. The mask does slip slightly on occasion, such as after [[spoiler: Radka's death]], but she still stays reasonably composed. So she surprises everybody when she breaks down sobbing in relief after she and the others think they finally have a way to escape. She also becomes very upset and starts shaking after [[spoiler: Lukas death]], and screams in anguish and despair when [[spoiler: Daavid dies]].
* {{Orphans ordeal}}: May fit all of them as most or all of the characters are probably orphans given the circumstances, but Michal, Laura, Jonah, and Annika in particular fit this trope.
* {{Playing with syringes}}: Part of Laura's backstory, she and her twin were experimented on by the Nazi's,
* {{Sanity Slippage}} A mild example but Lia seems to lose her grip on reality slightly before sinking into total despair. She certainly alarms the other characters who are concerned for her but have no idea how to help her,
* {{Sleep Cute}}: Annika and her brother Shechem sleep like this for comfort on one occasion. Once they become friends the entire group sleep huddled together a couple of times as well, partially for warmth and also partially for security and comfort.
* {{Straight gay}}: Jurgen, later [[spoiler: Annika and Laura]] are revealed to be this as well.

* {{Hope Spot}}: A very cruel one.
* {{Hot gypsy woman}}: Subverted, Eleny is described as very beautiful, but while she can be sarcastic and bold in her attitude she doesn't have the either the flirty nature or the fiery temper that goes with this trope.
* {{ImNotHereToMakeFriends}}: Laura, she even says as much to both Eleny and Annika at different points. She's been at the camp much longer than the others, and its seriously taken its toll.
* {{I Miss Mom}}: Lia cries out that she wants her son, rather than misses him, but the sentiment is the same. Also Eleny says she misses "them" at one point but it's unclear whether she means her family, the friends she's lost at the death camp, or both. Jurgen also says out loud that he misses his ex lover despite being betrayed by him.
* {{Intergenerational Friendship}}: Annika is 16, Michal 9, and Jonah's age is never stated but he is believed to be slightly younger than Annika, the rest are aged between 18 and 28, with Lia having a child of her own.

{{Apologises a lot}} Annika
{{Beware the nice ones}} Annika is sweet, gentle, caring, and {{the heart}} and peacemaker of the group. [[She also attacks one of the Nazis with a saw.]]
{{Broken Bird}} Eleny to an extent, but definetly Laura. Jonah is the male version of this trope.
{{Crapsack World}}
{{Cynicism Catalyst}} most of the main characters go or have gone through this.
{{Deadpan Snarker}} Eleny.
{{Defrosting Ice Queen}} Laura
{{Despair event Horizon}} Lia has a delayed one over the loss of her son, and Jonah has a similar breakdown later. Eleny also seems to go through this after [[Daavid dies]].
{{Die alone}} Possibly averted with [[Annika]] depending on how you view it.
{{Died in your arms tonight}} [[Radka]] dies while hugging with Annika who is desperately trying to warm her up.
{{Do not go Gentle}} the main characters (try to) maintain this attitude through most of the story
{{Driven to suicide}} One unnamed prisoner opens and jumps out a window to his death, and arguably [[Michal]] and [[Lia]] are driven to this too, although it's left ambiguous as to their intentions.
{{Dull Eyes of Despair}} Several of the characters develop these at various points.
{{Dying Declaration of Love}} [[Laura finally drops her mask and opens up to Annika, resulting in this]]
{{Fantastic Racism}} The Nazis (obviously), not only towards Jews but also towards Slavic people, and the Roma and Sinti, and non-ethnic groups such as the disabled, and homosexuals
{{Fire Forged Friends}} The main character and her friends are this and possibly {{Band of Brothers}} as well.
{{Fiery Redhead}} Lukas.
{{Fragile Flower}} Radka

{{Fiery Redhead}} Lukas.
{{Fragile Flower}} Radka
{{Gentle giant}} Jurgen, for all his size and strength he is very gentle and compassionate and quickly takes Annika under his wing, almost treating her as a surrogate daughter
{{Green Eyes}} Laura has these.
{{Hell hole prison}} it takes place in a death camp........
{{Hope Spot}}The group finnally think they've come up with a plausable plan to escape, then [[one of the objects vital to the plan is found, Lukas dies/is killed in front of the other characters as a result of trying to hide it, and everything basically falls to pieces]]
{{Hot gypsy woman}} Partially averted, Eleny is certainly described as very beautiful, but while she can be sarcastic and bold in her attitude she doesn't have the either the flirty nature or the fiery temper that normally goes with this trope.
{{Howl of Sorrow}} More of a scream, but Eleny does this towards the end of the book.
{{I'm Not Here To Make Friends}} Laura, she even says as much to both Eleny and Annika at different points. She's been at the camp the longest and its seriously taken its toll.
{{I Miss Mom}} Lia cries out that she wants her son, rather than misses him, but the sentiment is the same. Also Eleny says she misses "them" at one point but it's unclear whether she means her family, the friends she's lost at the death camp, or both. Jurgen also says out loud that he misses his ex lover despite being betrayed by him.
{{Intergenerational Friendship}} Annika is 16, Michal 9, and Jonah's age is never stated but he is believed to be slightly younger than Annika, the rest are aged between 18 and 28, with Lia having a child of her own.
{{It's All My Fault}} Annika feels this way regarding the reason she and her family were caught. Also blames herself regarding [[Lukas's]] death later in the story.
{{Jerk with a Heart of Gold}} Lukas can be abrupt, brash, judgemental, rude, and has a fiery temper. He is also very protective of Annika, is genuinely concerned for all of them, tries repeatedly to come up with ways to get them out of the camp, and is willing to put himself at risk to do so.
{{Kick The Dog:}} Done to the main characters. Frequently.
{{Kill it with fire}} The Nazis are seen disposing of the dead in a furnace, but the furnace is also used as an especially sadistic method of murder as some people get forced/thrown into the flames alive.
{{Like brother and sister}} Lukas and Annika
{{Losing The Team Spirit}} After the incident with [[Lukas]] the whole group seems to suffer a severe {{heroic BSOD}}
{{Manly tears}} Jurgen on a few occasions.
{{Master Race}} The attitude of the Camp Guards and Nazis in general.
{{Morality Pet}} Annika becomes one to Laura.
{{No Name Given}} For awhile after meeting each other, the characters only know each other by their numbers. Finally Lia introduces herself because she doesn't want them to die as strangers. Most of the others quickly follow suit, but [[Laura]] refuses to give anyone her name. She does eventually tell Annika (after some pursuasion), but it's long after the others have done so.
{{No periods, period}} Averted at the beginning but played straight and justified later as the women are so starved they stop ovulating,
{{Not so Stoic}} Eleny. Most of the time she's a model of self-control. She's analytical, calm, and practical, almost {{the Spock}} (although not quite). Through most of the story she rarely visibly gets upset or panics, and is probably mentally the strongest of the group. The mask does slip slightly on occasion, such as after [[Radka's]] death, but she still stays reasonably composed. So she surprises everybody when she breaks down sobbing in relief after she and the others think they finally have a way to escape. She also becomes very upset and starts shaking after [[Lukas death]], and screams in anguish and despair when [[Daavid dies]].
{{Orphans ordeal}} May fit all of them as most or all of the characters are probably orphans given the circumstances, but Michal, Laura, Jonah, and Annika in particular seem to fit this trope.
{{Playing with syringes}} [[Laura]] is scarred and looks like a neuter under her prison uniform due to the Nazis experimenting with her and her twin and trying to sew/join them together. Her twin did not survive.
{{Sanity Slippage}} A mild example but [[Lia]] seems to lose her grip on reality slightly before sinking into total despair. She certainly alarms the other characters who are concerned for her but have no idea how to help her,
{{Sleep Cute}} Annika and her brother Shechem sleep like this for comfort on one occasion. Once they become friends the entire group sleep huddled together a couple of times as well, partially for warmth and partially for security and comfort.
{{Stoic Woobie}} Eleny and Laura.
{{Straight gay}} Jurgen, later [[Annika and Laura]] are revealed to be this as well.
{{Sugar and Ice Personality}} Laura
{{Survivor guilt}} Laura is revealed to feel this over her sister's death.
{{The Darkest Hour}} [[Lukas]] death
{{Tears of Blood}} At one point [[Annika]] starts bleeding from her eyes.
{{The Bear}} Jurgen.
{{The Gulag}} The concentration camp/prison is this
{{The Nicknamer}} Annika does this before learning the other charaters names.
{{These Hands Have Killed}} [[Annika]], although the victim was hardly innocent she does regret the action after.
{{Together in death}} happens to [[Annika and her few surviving friends]]. It's partially forced but when one of them suggests breathing through the keyhole, and its pointed out by someone else that they can't all do so. [[Eleny]] says if they can't all survive, she doesn't want too, and the others silently agree with her. None of them even try to follow the suggestion.
{{Tragic Hero}} All of the main characters
{{Trauma Conga Line}}
{{Unable to cry}} Annika for most of the book.
{{Vitrolic best buds}} Eleny and Lukas are this towards each other, they constantly argue, but are nevertheless friends beneath all the bickering and sarcasm.
{{Would Hurt a Child}} Early on one little girl decides to make a run for it and is shot for trying to escape, later [[Michal]] meets a simliar end. Eleny mentions that most children are killed shortly after entering the camp.
{{You are not Alone}} Implied in places, and Lukas outright says it at one point to Daavid
