Setting (with History)


Time
After WWI Germany was stripped and pillaged of many of its resources by Britain and French. This Caused Germany to go into widespread poverty for all of the countries as not many countries would trade with them and if they did they would charge extra. The Nazi Party then got into power Hitler made many policies that would improve the economy for Germany as a whole. Wages increased by an average of 10.7%. This Put much trust In the Nazi party and Hitler. Then with the effective propaganda of that viewed all of the Ayran race was a superior race put even loyalty in many German citizens that had traits of the race as they felt valuable. This gave the Nazi party the ability to slowly manipulate all of Germany into their beliefs

1941- Germany invades Russia. Where Hans Hummberman Jr and Sr goes
Nazi Germany
Germany suffered a huge depression after WWI
One of Hitler’s goals was 100% employment for all “pure” German Citizens. This involved sacking Jews and forcing them out of employment.
Rules on opening business were tighter and ended up with 20% of the closing
Farmers were needed more which also meant they were paid more. However, this meant people that were farmers could not leave as the demand for food was high in the army.
Hilter paid people of Ayran race to marry other Ayran and gave them money for each Ayran child they had. Women were encouraged to be more weighty as it was thought it was a healthier way to give birth. Women were encouraged not to work until Germany began losing in 1943
The youth of Germany were indoctrinated into the Nazi ideology. The Aim was to prepare boys for future soldiers if needed. Girls were brought up to be future motherhood.
All teachers had to join the Nazi teacher association. Biology taught Nazi Racial theories with eugenics.
Sterilization was a process that sexually sterilized everyone with disabilities or unfavourable traits as they thought they could be passed down
They were also gassed. This happened to over 100000 people, with most of them happening in secret and long about there deaths
Homosexuals, prostitutes, Jehovah’s Witnesses, gypsies, alcoholics, pacifists, beggars, hooligans and criminals were sent to concentration camps or gassed.
Jews from 1933 onwards were slowly being treated worse and worse. This started off with boycotting businesses and stripping of German citizenships, taking away political rights.
Jewish kids were not allowed to go to school
Germany had very strict laws that made it so absolute loyalty would be to Hitler. Some of the control measures were the SD (SS policemen) and the Gestapo (Undercover citizens). Penalties for the not absolute alliance were fines, imprisonment, or people going “missing”.

1938 was the turning point which led many Jews to flee as now they were being Physically Abused.

The Nazis also had complete control over the legal system in Germany as all judges have to swear allegiance to Hitler and do whatever is best for the Nazi state and all lawyers had to join the Nazi lawyers association. Also, many criminals in Germany were not released by what would have been their release date and instead moved to concentration camps.

Newspapers were controlled by the Nazi party meaning all stories had to be nutrall or favoruble to the Nazi party. They even sold Radios cheaply as they also had contol over the radio stations. The Nazi party also had control over the music, art, books, movies cultivating their people to thier beifs.

Place
In Markus Zusak’s novel, the Book Thief, Molching is the place the book in centred in. However, a quick google search reveals that “Molching” is the fragment of Markus’s imagination.
It is set Germany a few hundred miles south-east of Stuttgart (whitch does exist and is on the outskirts of Munich whitch also exists. Oddly enough there is a place known small town known as Olching on the outskirts on Munich (where Molching is could be).
Markus Zusak makes Molching seem like a real place by simply making it believable by giving it many realism factors. He made it seem like a typical small town in Germany at the time.
placing it around other large places that are real, Not giving it any extremely features that would make us think it couldn’t exist.
He also makes the History and events within the book to be the same as it was back in Nazi Germany.
The purpose of this is to make the reader question Markus’s work as if there is one thing in the book that is a lie could there be more. It also makes the reader pay closer attention to what is said throughout the book whitch gives events such as Stalingrad and the Holocaust more impact. Was this Germany? Was this Nazi Germnay?.
