Long Answer
1. At the beginning of the novel, Annemarie views heroism as something grand, often associated with fairy tales. However, as she navigates the dangers posed by the Nazi occupation, her perception evolves to understand that heroism often lies in quiet acts of courage. For instance, when she takes the packet to Uncle Henrik, she realizes that putting others’ safety before her own is a form of real-life heroism. (Chapter 16)
2. The Star of David symbolizes both oppression and a sense of identity. It represents oppression as the Nazis forced Jews, like Ellen, to wear it as a means of identification and discrimination. However, it also stands for the resilience and identity of the Jewish people, shown when Ellen removes and entrusts her necklace to Annemarie, signifying her faith and the enduring spirit of her community. (Chapter 5)
