The Way Home/The Mayor's Library

"The Way Home" included a very interesting short about the book Mein Kampf. This section shows Hans and his visions as Liesel asks about her newly stolen book. I found these visions to be heartbreaking, as it depicts Hans' son lashing out on him. Following these visions comes Hans buying a copy of Mein Kampf, as well as him asking for his approval for the Nazi Party.

"The Mayor's Library" surprised me greatly, but gave me euphoria as well. This section started out with Liesel doing her normal laundry run. After she had stopped by the mayor's house, I knew something was wrong. I did not expect the mayor's wife to be the one that saw Liesel steal her most recent book. Afterwards the wife had invited her into her house, only to reveal that she has a wondrous collection of books all immaculately set in a room. This gave me so much joy that Liesel could stay and read at such a place with so many books.
