| Book Burning |
Some research into the time period, Nazi Germany before and during the war. Extreme prejudice, the burning of 'un-German' material in the streets, the marching of Jewish prisoners through towns, the Hitler Youth and the destruction caused by World War 2 are just some of the things Liesel experiences in this book. This was a confusing time for Germany, especially for a child. Liesel does not fully understand the terrible things she sees and just adapts to a way of life, as children do. Although it was a sad and frightening time (to put it mildly) i find it fascinating.
Some of these images are scanned from books I took out of my Uni library and the others I found online.
