November 1939
Hi, I'm Liesel Meminger, also known as the book thief. I'm going to tell you about how I ended up at: 33 Himmel Street, where the buildings are right next to each other and a thin layer of dirt covers every crevasse and corner of Molching, Germany. It all started when my brother, Mama and I were on the train heading to Himmel Street to meet our foster parents, for Mama could not support the three of us on her own. My brother and I would stay with Rosa and Hans Hubermann, our foster parents. Then, on the train, my brother passed away. I sat there frozen with tears crawling down my face, watching him. He didn't move. Mama, my dead brother and I were kicked off the train. and had to catch another train to Himmel Street. While burying my brother, the gravedigger finished digging the grave and left behind a book, without noticing it slipped out of his pocket. It was the first book I stole. After burying my brother, my Mama and I caught a train and headed for Himmel Street. Mama and I eventually made our way to 33 Himmel Street, sadly without my brother and we were greeted by Rosa and Hans Hubermann. Today I continue to adjust to my new life. Each night I have nightmares about my beloved brother. However, my new papa, Hans, is always there to comfort me. Rosa calls everyone a "Saumensch", pig in German. Although she uses such language, i know that she and papa both love me. Welcome to my blog.
