Chekhov's Gun: When playing with Otto, David and Oskar inadvertently spill the content of an inkwell on his face, leaving a permanent stain on it. Years later, Oskar recognizes Otto in the antique shop's storefront, thanks to the ink stain.

Children Are Innocent: When David gets a yellow star sewn on his clothes, Oskar asks David's mother if he can have one too. The mother tells him he can't because he's not Jewish, and Oskar then innocently asks "What is it like, to be Jewish?".
