innocence of the village is slowly eroded away. The majority of the villagers
are devout Christians (Catholics I think---can't remember, they could be
Lutherans). They are by and large a very moral group. We see how the
individuals respond and are changed by the evil of the Nazi's. We also follow

people who are in a time and place where popular opinion reigns supreme, and
those with true moral fiber ask of themselves, "Should we?"
