The Book Thief & Defiance

The Book Thief is an extremely interesting story, and one of the main reasons of that is the setting. The story takes place in Molching, Germany during the Holocaust. Times are tough for all, but specifically the people of Jewish decent. The character Max and his story really reminded me of a movie that I saw last year. It is called Defiance and tells the tale of a group of Jewish people fleeing Hitler and his Nazi regime. It tells their story of triumphs and failures, and ultimately how they desperately tried to survive. It was a fantastic movie, and I highly recommend it. (trailer below)
