When the soldiers question Papa about Ellen and her dark hair, he quickly fabricates a story, claiming that she is his daughter and that her dark hair is inherited from her mother. He knows that any truth about Ellen being Jewish could put them in danger. Papa's quick thinking is a protective measure to keep Ellen safe from the soldiers' suspicions. His actions highlight the tension and fear of the time, as well as the lengths to which he will go to protect her.

What happens in the middle of the night when Ellen stays with annemarie in the story number the stars?

The Nazi's come to search their house to see if they were hiding the Rosen's. Luckily, they managed to make the Nazi soldiers to believe that Ellen was Lise (Annemarie's older sister who had passed away) by Lise's baby picture. Because Lise had brown hair when she was a baby like Ellen's hair, when Lise got older here hair turned blond.
