* Before they set on their plan by having Ellen pose as a Johannsen daughter (using Lise's name) in case the Nazis come, Mr. Johannsen kisses both Annemarie and Ellen on the heads, telling them, "Don't be frightened. Once I had three daughters. Tonight, I am proud to have three daughters again."
** Later, Mrs. Johannsen looking after Ellen, reminding her not to feel bad about her hair color (which nearly gave the family trouble with the Nazis), and telling Annemarie to tell Uncle Henrik that they've brought a friend (Ellen).
* Annemarie and Ellen have a heart-to-heart talk about Lise, with only child Ellen confiding in Annemarie that she used to pretend Lise was her older sister. Annemarie says that Lise would've liked that, since she loved Ellen too.
* Lise's fiancé Peter still keeping a close relationship with the Johannsen family.
* A small moment with Ellen reassuring Kirsti, who is upset at having green fishskin shoes (leather was scarce in the war), that she will take the shoes home and make them black and shiny with her father's help. The Rosens and the Johannsens indeed have a close familial relationship with one another.
* Ellen's reunion with her parents.
* Uncle Henrik telling Annemarie not to worry, she will see Ellen again.
* The short but sweet moment where Mrs. Johannsen brings a Jewish baby Kirsti's sweater, and the mother tells Mrs. Johannsen that the baby is a girl named Rachel.
* Many of the Gentile Danes making sure that their Jewish friends and neighbors will be taken care of, and it's revealed that they've kept their departed neighbors' homes clean for them.
* The end of the war:
** Kirsti has grown up into a tintype of Lise, with a brighter and longer future.
** Mr. and Mrs. Johannsen revealing to Annemarie that Peter and Lise were members of the Danish Resistance.
** Annemarie asking her father to fix Ellen's broken (up until now) Star of David necklace, which she will wear around her neck until Ellen returns.
