Blog #3 Hans Hubermann

For this blog I am choosing to write about Hans Hubermann. Hans Hubermann was an honest and good hearted person. He and Rosa Hubermann took in Liesel after hardships in her life such as her mothers abandonment and her brothers death. Liesel responded very well to Hans rather than Rosa because of how Rosa treated her also because she was not her real mother. Hans on the other hand was the first father figure her life so she was drawn to him. He also was the one wtheir for Liesel when she was going through her tough times. He would be there when Liesel would awaking from nightmares of her brother and read to her. It started off with the grave diggers handbook and moved on the numerous others. This helped Liesel catch up with her grade level and not become embarrassed when reading in front of the class. Hans played the piano accordion and a painter by trade. He play his piano in the winter to make a little more money at pubs in Molching. He had two children other than Liesel, Hans junior, who was a Nazi, and Trudy a live-in housemaid. Hans and his son got into a heated arguement the day of Hitler birthday about him being a coward because he wasn't part of the Nazi clan. This really hit him hard to see his son walk away from his life as he did but knowing the world he grew up in there was nothing he could do. Hans was one person of that 10 percent of people who didn't agree with Hitler and his actions but was the only one to do something about it such as paint over the Jewish criticizing and worry about his application to be a Nazi member. He stood up for the right thing as much as he could without endangering himself or his family and I can truly respect him for that. I like Hans because he has a good head on his shoulders, he's loving and always makes the right decisions for the sake of his family.
