Hitler was very prejudiced against Jews. He made a bunch of laws that wouldn’t allow Germans to intermarry with Jews. It was illegal to kiss Jews. If any German broke the laws, they could be punished by death. Germany went to war in 1938, and lasted until 1945. Hitler really got himself into trouble when He sent troops to Russia.
The significance of Hitler and the Book thief, is that most of the problems in both were caused
by Him. Jews had to hide from Hitler to avoid being sent to camps, and in the Book Thief, The Hubermanns hide Max, a jew. Hitler was also against communism, and in the Book Thief, Liesel’s mother was a communist and had to send Liesel away.
