Liesel Meminger is the daughter of Paula Meminger. She is also the sister of late Warren Meminger. Consequently, she steals the first book in the novel, called The Gravedigger's Handbook. Therefore, Death gave her the nickname of “ the book thief” before us knowing that she would become “the book thief”. Liesel Meminger is the hardworking, book-thieving, kind-hearted protagonist of The Book Thief. She loves books so much that she steals them, even before knowing how to read. All of this started because stealing books reminds her of Warren Meminger. This is even she bonds more with Hans Hubermann, her foster father, dedicates his time to teach her how to read. We might be asking, why hasn’t she gotten an education at the age of 10. The answer is not as clear as others, but it definitely has to do with Liesel father’s communist affiliations. He was part of the German Communist Party, that was popular when Hitler took over. This is also the reason why she had to be fostered.

Werner dies on the train to Himmel Street, the place that Liesel is left with a couple, Hans and Rosa Hubermann. Liesel’s mother is never seen again, but the reader assumes that she was taken away for being one of the Nazi’s targets. According to The Book Thief, “What came to her then was the dustiness of the floor, the feeling that her clothes were more next to her than on her, and the sudden realization that this would all be for nothing—that her mother would never write back and she would never see her again.” Nazis were the epitome of evil. They tore families apart and killed millions of innocent people.
This theme can be seen in the book many times. Since Liesel has foster parents and there pretty poor ,Liesel goes out and steals books with Rudy to defy against Nazi beliefs. Thievery is not a good thing and it's something that’s against what the law say, but in the book thievery is used by Liesel and Rudy to show an act of brutality to the Nazis.
The consequences, regret, and grievance caused by Hans giving bread to the Jewish man, in Markus Zusak’s novel The Book Thief, were not worth the minimal benefits that came from his actions. The worst consequence was that the old, frail Jewish man and Hans were both whipped severely. The starving Jew didn’t even get the bread, nor did Hans get the bread back meaning that it just went to waste. Another repercussion of Hans giving the bread was that he caused Rosa and Liesel grievance, when both he and Max had to leave. All of these terrible consequences affected not only Hans but also affected Hans’ whole family and the Jewish man, too.
