Liesel at the end of the novel becomes overwhelmed with grief when Max Vandenburg is sent to a concentration camp. She is tired of Hitler’s words and the influences he has on Germany’s people. Ilsa Hermann encourages Liesel to write by giving her a blank book which she decides to write her life story of all the struggle and wonder she has experienced. “I have hated the words and I have loved them, and I hope I have made them right.” (Zusak 528). Liesel writes as her life journey is coming to a close and she is hoping that what she has learned and putting it on paper will in her own way make it right. She writes the truth of WWII and in a beautiful way it’s the truth to Hitler’s propaganda.
