1. In 1933, the population of Jews stood at a staggering 9,000,000 ! By 1945 the German forces would kill 2 out of 3 European Jews as part of the " Final Solution".
2. Not only Jews had to wear something on their clothing. Homosexual sexual people had to wear pink triangles, Gypsies wore a brown, and emigrants wore blue triangles.
3. Over 11 million people died in the holocaust. about 6 million were Jews and the other five were other races ethnicitys and religions like: Blacks, Gypsies, Catholic, Jahovawitnesses, Homosexuals, and much more. Basically the Germans were trying to sculpt a perfect race, the thing is there isn't such thing as perfect.
The book thief and the holocaust are the same because they take place in the same time. We hear of stories of people as non Jews and people who were "Aryan". The book talks about concentration camps and the yellow stars. In the book a character says something about "safe blue eyes" and blonde hair. Also the book is narrated by death, death seems to be a very very huge part of the holocaust.
