Part 6

"Death's Diary: 1942"- The narrator, death, was summarizing some of the year 1942 and telling about himself.
"The Snowman"- Max had asked Liesel to tell him about the weather. At this particular time there was snow on the ground, so Liesel brought Max some snow. She decided to bring buckets of snow downstairs for her and Max to enjoy on account he couldn't come outside. Max, Liesel and Hans had a snowball fight and made a little snowman. Now as you know Max lives in their basement because its too risky to bring him upstairs well since it was rather cold downstairs and his health was the greatest he got really sick and the snow didn't help either.
"Thirteen Presents"- Since Max was sick and pretty much in a coma and also missing out on everything Liesel experienced she decided to bring him something she found while out and about that day. Liesel found 13 things all together.
"Fresh Air, an Old Nightmare, and What to do With a Jewish Corpse"- In the beginning of this book Liesel and Rudy decided to steal from the mayor's house again but this time it came naturally to Liesel and stole another book with complete ease. The "Old Nightmare" part of this was the recurring nightmare Liesel had of her late brother who had died on the train on the way to the Hubermann's home in the beginning of the book. This time she dreamt that it wasn't her brother she saw but Max. And the final part "What to do with a Jewish Corpse" was Rosa and Hans figuring out what to do with Max's body if he died, since he was a Jew.
"Death's Diary: Cologne"- This chapter was Death reliving what happened in this part of Germany at the time.
"The Visitor"- Because of the war the NSDAP goes through towns and looks for bomb shelters. Liesel knows they are going to come to her house so she injures herself so she can warn her father that they are coming. They have to hide Max and everything turns out okay.
"The Schmunzeler"- Rudy comes to check on Liesel after she gets injured and gets Liesel all worked up about stealing because he tells her she reeks and she's all jittery and paranoid.
"Death's Diary: The Parisians"- Death was narrating what it was like to pick all the jews up when they die and how he wants to forget it.

The big and main conflict in this part of the book is the Hubermanns against all of Hitler Germany because they are hiding a Jew in their basement. The Hubermanns are also really powerful because they are hiding Max.
