Long Answer

1. When Pierrot finally accepts responsibility for his cruel behavior, he cannot work up the courage to tell people about his involvement in the war. He apologizes to Ernst’s sister but is ignored because she is a Nazi sympathizer. Years later, Katrina gives him a scowl. Anshel’s extension of forgiveness to Pierrot serves as validation for his moral evolution. (Chapter 14)

2. Pierrot’s name change from Pierrot to Pieter initially highlights the danger he faces from living near Hitler, but as the novel progresses, it symbolizes Pierrot’s identity shift from French to German and his shift in allegiance to the Nazi cause. (Various chapters)
