Hans+and+Rosa+Hubermann

Hans and Rosa Hubermann This couple is Liesel's foster parents. Their house is outside Munich in Nazi Germany. The town they actually live in is Molching, on Himmel Street. Their marriage is not very tight, but they have their moments--especially when Liesel gets herself into trouble, they'll go into anything to make Liesel feel better.

For example: Liesel's brother died on the train ride to Nazi Germany. He died looking at the floor, and Liesel witnessed this. Every night she has the recurring dream of seeing her brother. She wakes up in the middle of the night screaming. Hans comes into her room every night to play the accordian and then sits in her room until she falls asleep.
