This is a heart wrenching story that is sure to make the reader/viewer cry. The book has more details, along with things that are not in the film. This haunting war drama strikes the same emotional chord as The Book Thief. One is the son of a Nazi commandant and the other a Jewish boy in a concentration camp nearby.

He associates a color with each sighting: white, red, and black, the colors of the Nazi. Like The Book Thief, this heartbreaking movie set in the Holocaust. The next time he saw her was when he came for a pilot who had crashed his plane. The first time he saw the book thief, he says, was on a train. The Grave Diggers Handbook, a training book about grave digging, which Liesel Meminger (protagonist) found lying in the snow at Werner Memingers funeral on January 13th, 1939. Death introduces himself as the narrator of the novel. If anyone were to read or watch this, I would prefer the book. The books featured in The Book Thief are. In the movie, the scene is not as violent and neither get a whipping, instead, “papa” has to tell the officer his name, which causes fear, causing him to have Max leave. Both “papa” and the Jew are whipped by a Nazi officer. In the book and movie, a Jew is being marched through town, and he gives him a piece of bread. One last difference is when Liesel’s “papa” gets into a incident with a Nazi officer. In the book, Ilsa told her they are no longer doing washing, so Liesel threw a book at Ilsa, but in the movie it was quite calm.

Her husband (the mayor) finds out, and no longer allows Liesel to do their laundry any longer. In the movie, Ilsa lets Liesel read books in her library while doing her laundry. There is a character named Ilsa Hermann that Liesel meets halfway through the book and movie. Also, in the book, the Hubermanns have fostered many kids before Liesel. Also, in the book, the Hubermanns have fostered many kids before Liesel. In the movie, they do not have kids, and never have had kids, but in the book, they have a son who fights in the army for the Germans. The German couple that Liesel is living with is named the Hubermanns. In the book though, Max dreams to be a fighter, but in the movie, they cut his whole dream out. In both the book and the movie, the German couple hides a Jew named Max Vandenburg in their basement, which causes tension and worry. Throughout this book/movie, there are many differences. In the film/book The Book Thief, Liesel Meminger gets taken from her mother and is adopted by a German couple. There are two kinds of people, the people who will only see the movie, and those who refuse to watch the movie until they read the book.
