Long Answer

1. Mengele could have simply killed Leon, but instead he removed the possibility of futurity in Leon’s life. Even if he survives the death camp, he will not be able to have children. His legacy will end with him. The mutilation is also an attack on Leon’s manhood. (Chapters 17-21)

2. First, Lale has never forgotten his adoptive Romany family. Second, Gita recognizes and respects the importance of this to Lale. Though she reprimanded Lale for excessively grieving over the Romanies, this shows that she has come to accept what they meant to him.
