Max Vandenburg is a 23 year old Jewish Street Fighter who finds himself in the middle of a terrible situation when German soldiers invade his home. Max is then then taken away by his good friend, and kept in a closet for two years. He is then taken to the town of Molching with the help of Hans Hubermann, Liesel's Papa.
There he is kept in their basement and meets a girl named Liesel. First, the two are unfamiliar with each other, but when they share nightmares, they begin to get to know each other. Max makes two books for Liesel, and shares many adventures with her. Yet, when he falls terribly ill, Liesel's family makes sure he stays alive, even with his close brush with Death.
After a year or so, Max decides to leave the Hubermann's house for their own safety once the bombs start falling. He does not run into Liesel for a while, that is until he is marched through town with other Jews. There, Liesel and Max are able to share a few brief words. Then, he meets her once again, after all the bombs are done falling on Himmel Street.
Overall, Max plays a big roll on Liesel, and keeps her going.
