She and her family, who live in the “free zone” only experience minor freedom-restricting annoyances at first. Sara describes changes in her community as Nazis begin their occupation. Over the course of the graphic novel, she learns to become better even as a deeply violent and genocidal version of her actions affects her own life and community in profound ways.
