Henrietta truly took to heart the idea Elie portrays in realizing one's self worth and not to treat oneself or others as an abstraction. She truly embodied this value by stepping out and caring for others, along with herself.

A sanctuary if you will, where Liesel’s childhood lived and died, where she became a happy child but also became a beautiful, young woman. Over time it wasn’t just the people who shaped her, but also Himmel Street itself. The setting in The Book Thief is very important because it creates the entire atmosphere of the story.
