sex
There is a sequence in which it becomes apparent that a 14-year-old girl has become pregnant, after meeting a boy at a labour camp where she worked. The story is handled discreetly, and there is no detailed discussion of how she became pregnant.
discrimination
The story occurs in Nazi Germany, and there are scenes in which officers lend support to the regime's discriminatory values. These include destruction of property belonging to Jewish people, display of racist slogans, and political speeches designed to dehumanise Jewish people. After a girl discovers she is pregnant she is upset and ashamed, and is met with sexism from many authority figures around her and worries about how others will perceive her. It is implied she takes her own life after hearing her father discuss the fact that townspeople have begun gossiping about her.
additional issues
There are also scenes set in a concentration camp, in which prisoners are subjected to violence, including shooting, punches, and beatings. A man is whipped, and sustains lacerations, and another man is seen hanging by his wrists. There is very mild bad language ('damn', 'hell').
