The book thief- A-Ha moment

In the book The book thief by Markus Zusak Leisel realizes a lot of things. She realizes that not all Jews are bad, or not even that, that jews aren't bad at all. The only reason she said that was because of all the things people would say about them. When her foster dad starts hiding a Jew she's worried, but then she gets to know him. She figures out his name is Max and that he can't read. She ends up helping him and starts building this friendship with him. That's when she realizes that Jews aren't bad at all, they're the same as any other human and they are also not so different. In the book it states," Max looked so lonely, Liesel swallowed. And she walked over and hugged him for the first time. "Thanks, Max." This is showing that Leisel still treats him the same way as other people and only because he is a Jew he is no different and she wouldn't mind giving him a hug like she would to her foster parents.
