Hans and Rosa began to hide a Jewish man, Max Vandenburg, in their basement until Hans made a mistake that forced Max to leave before the authorities came and found him. Alex Steiner, Rudy’s father, also made a mistake that threatened the authority of the Nazi party and he and Hans were drafted into the military. Hans broke his leg and was allowed to come back home to Molching. Late one night, while Liesel was in their basement writing an autobiography, the poorer part of Molching was bombed, where she happened to live and everyone was killed, except Liesel. First of all, the book provided me with many, somewhat random out of context, but interesting facts about what went on outside of the fictional story of Liesel Meminger.

Last year in Moscow, a 7-year-old boy walked off a plane that arrived to Moscow from Washington all alone with a rucksack of candies and a single typewritten note. A woman from Tennessee who had adopted the child the year before wrote in the note that Artyom, named Justin by his adoptive parents, had emotional problems, and therefore, she no longer wished to parent this child and begged Russia to take him back. This specific case and other instances of Russian children being mistreated abroad prompted the Russian Government to suspend all adoptions of Russian children by Americans. Saving children from poverty is considered to be a sacrificial act, but the rate of international adoptions is shrinking lately due to the inadequacies of adoption policies among countries: viewing the case of an adopted child from Russia can clarify Russian, American and international perspectives on this issue and propose a better solution to improve the conditions of the less-privileged children, since I believe that there’re no real obstacles to prevent parents from adopting international children. From a Russian perspective, the incident seemed unbelievable in the public eye: a mother discarding her young son as if he were a defective product.
