Chapters 15, 16 & 17

1. In what way had the Johansons, Peter and Uncle Henrik act as bodyguards for the Jews?

2. How did Annelise (Annemarie's older sister) really die?  What does this tell us about her character?

3 In the letter Peter sends before he is killed by the Nazi's he says he is not afraid of death.  Why do you think he writes this?
