2. Why do you think Hans “welcomed” (p. 416) the “punishment” he received by being sent to the war? What about Alex Steiner’s attitude?

4. In the scene when Liesel and Rudy give bread away to Jews, Death remarks, “How things had changed, from fruit stealer to bread giver. His blonde hair, although darkening, was like a candle. She heard his stomach growl–and he was giving people bread. Was this Germany? Was this Nazi Germany?” (p. 440) What do you suppose transformed Rudy from a thief into a “bread giver”?

5. Why do you think Liesel doesn’t kiss Rudy at the end of this Part?
