World War Two and Book Thief relations By Ellie Dow

While reading about the Holocaust and thinking about what I learned from German, I found out why some of those things happened.
The first one was when Liesel's mother gave up her kids because she couldn't take care of them. After World War One, the Germans lost a lot. They were all struggling for food, shelter, and ways to support their family. Even though Germany was getting a little bit more authority, there were still many families that were still bankrupt. Liesel's family was in that place and her mother didn't want her to starve so she gave her away.
The second one was Rudy with the charcoal on his face pretending to be Jesse Owens, when his father found him and became very angry at him. During that time period, anyone that was so called 'different' like Jesse Owens was a discrace to people like Hitler. 'Different' wasn't right to him. Rudy's father was horrified when he saw his son pretending to be black because it just wasn't right to him.
My final one is her foster mother getting mad at Liesel a lot. During hard times like World War Two, people become angry and depressed if they are stressed about what's going on in their life or what's happening to the economy. I know that she seems like an angry person, but imaging that you're in Germany during World War Two, she just got a new foster kid that makes no sense to her, they didn't that much money, and if you feel different about what Hitler thinks, you could be in a lot of trouble.

Yesterday I went to see The Wizard of Oz at Murray High and I noticed a connection from the play and The Book Thief. There were people that worked for the witch called the Winkies an if they didn't do as she said they'd get in trouble. It was as if they were all brainwashed and thought Dorothy was the enemy, just like Hitler brainwashed most of Germnay making them think that Jews were the enemy. Even the jackets that the Winkies wore looked like Hitlers. Creepy, huh?
