The Book Thief is another view point  of what the Nazi party was doing in WWII with burning of books.

When Liesel is at her brother's headstone, she decides to pick up a certain object that was hidden under some white fluff (snow). This object was a book called "The Grave Digger's Handbook" when Liesel decided to take the book she found the love for words and books, that was her first glimpse into theft and taking books from others.
