The Book Thief

THE BOOK THIEF

The movie is out.  Go see it. I read the book, by Markus Zusak, with my reading group last month.  It is worth the read.

If you ever wondered how much we need one another, how much we depend upon one another, how our lives are intertwined, this powerful story will give you some idea.

It’s a theme that has been written about and depicted in movies over and over and over: Nazi Germany in the 1930s. World War II. Germans and Jews.

Is there anything new that can be said upon this topic?

Maybe, or maybe it’s a just a very powerful retelling of truths that need to be told and retold and retold. Go, see the movie and tell me what you think. How did it affect your views of our need for one another?  I’d like to know.
