Writing is an important theme in The Book Thief. Liesel writes her memoir, also named The Book Thief. Max Vandenburg writes and draws on the walls of the basement of Liesel's house on Himmel Street. He also paints over the pages of Mein Kampf and writes stories for Liesel in them. Liesel and Max used writing to portray their emotions about life and situations occurring around them. Writing is also important because there are book burnings done by Nazis and soldiers to demonstrate the Nazis' control over people and their lives. They are also done on special occasions, such as anniversary of memorable war dates and Hitler's birthday.
