Liesel’s life was tough, but during those times, she discovered herself. Liesel lost her family at a young age. Her mother was unable to care for her, as a result Leisel was sent to foster parents, Hans and Rosa
Hubermann, to care for her.
Leisel grew up in a difficult time period, World War II, her foster parents aided her as much as they could and tried their best to raise her as their own. She grew up on Himmel Street in Molching, Germany. She often played with the neighborhood children and they all enjoyed the game of soccer. The neighborhood games was where Leisel met her best friend, Rudy
Steiner. Rudy Steiner and Liesel Meminger created a very special bond. Rudy desperately loved
Liesel, but Liesel only cared for him as a friend. Liesel and Rudy not only played soccer, but they also stole. The two were known to steal apples from farmers.
Leisel was a smart and talented girl. She was determined and if she set her mind on something, she would get it done. Liesel was given no educational attention till she was nearly ten years old, but she made a mission to learn to read and write. It took time but she soon was one of the best readers in her class.
Liesel Meminger faced many difficult times in her life. She lost many people in her life, and Liesel was once faced with bearing the secret that a Jew was living in her basement(he later had to leave do to safety issues). When Liesel was a young girl Germany was beginning to be bombed by the Allies, during the bombings, Himmel Street was hit, all of Liesel’s neighbors, friends, and even her foster parents were killed in the bombing, but Liesel survived due to the fact that she was in her basement sleeping after a long night of writing.
