** Ellen worries over the fact that she has no idea where her parents even are. Annemarie knows there's nothing she can say to make it better, so she just quietly holds Ellen's hand and hopes it helps.



** When Annemarie finds out, she's not surprised because her big sister was that brave. Her bigger worry was that perhaps Lise was shot the way that Peter later was. She finds out from her parents that it was not the case; a tank did run her down, but she wasn't publicly executed. Annemarie at least has that reassurance.

* Kristi is so little that her bigger worry with the occupation is that she misses butter and cupcakes. Annemarie notes that it's probably better (if "dumb") that she believes the local Jewish bakers are at the seaside, because the realistic option is much worse. Later on, as she gets older, Annemarie notes that Kirsti has become solemn, like their older sister Lise. It's a terrible thing to grow up in the middle of a war.
* Uncle Henrik talks with Annemarie about the Great-Aunt Birte ruse while milking his cow. He tells her that adults have to lie all the time to keep their friends safe, but it's harder when you're scared. That's why he didn't tell the girls that the funeral was a ruse to get clothes to refugees and help smuggle them onto his fishing boat. Annemarie forgives him for the lie, especially when she has to lie to the Nazis' faces to save everyone.
* Lise's death when she was barely 20, and the fact that she was deliberately killed, and her parents had to keep it a secret for a few years from Annemarie and Kirsti.
** Mr. and Mrs. Johannsen said they didn't know. Peter told them after Lise was killed, to honor her memory. Even now, Mrs. Johannsen cries both at how brave Lise was, and how the Resistance members were so young.

* Ellen's distress when the Nazis are approaching Annemarie's bedroom where she's staying over and Annemarie is trying to take off the Star of David necklace that could give her away.
* In the end, Peter was executed by the Nazis and was not buried next to Lise per his request. The Johannsen family goes to an unmarked grave and leave flowers, hoping that it's his.
