The Book Thief and the Holocaust by McKenzie Stauffer

The Holocaust was a terrible thing. One girl stood through that in Germany. She is known as the book thief. She lost her mother and brother. Just like many others. Many families lost each other in the Holocaust. There were 11 millions people killed and 6 million of those were Jews. Hilter hated the Jews and other races that weren't "Aryans". His way of getting rid of them was to kill them and "brainwash" the communtiy to think that they were bad. He had this posted on billboards and magazines. Hitler also had this taught in schools. The book thief went to school and so she was learning this. To hate the Jews. In the end it all comes down to which side we choose to stand on. Marcus Zusak really makes you feel like you are there seeing the Nazi partys parade down the street. It really opens up your eyes to a whole new way of seeing.
