    • Liesel Meminger, a young girl, was listening to a man speaking in January 1939. She had difficulty speaking and reading due to lack of formal education.

    • She was nine years old and had recently lost her brother, Werner. She had a dream where she extracted his soul from his body.

    • Liesel and her mother woke up on a train during a snowstorm. They had to get off the train with Werner's body due to faulty track work.
