Holocaust by Peter Rosen

1. Germans used propaganda techniques used by the Allies in World War I.
2. Hitler's opinion on Jews were a result of the views of a childhood hero.
3. People who were opposed to the Nazi's were considered non-Aryan.

Each of these facts are connected to The Book Thief in some way. The first fact adresses propaganda. Obviously these techniques were very successful. This is shown by Rudy's father's fear of Jews running him out of business. The second fact doesn't connect in the way you might think. It shows how things around you can affect you. An example of this is Liesel's habit of swearing developed by living around her foster mother. The third fact has an excellent example of it in The Book Thief. When Hans Huberman goes to pick up Mein Kampf, the Nazi's there show that they don't like him. His own son also shows that he thinks his father is worse because he is not a member of the Nazi Party.
