Markus Zusak Quote
THE CONTRADICTORY POLITICS OF ALEX STEINER ***Point One: He was a member of the Nazi Party but he did not hate the Jews, or anyone else for that matter.Point Two: Secretly, though, he couldn’t help feeling a percentage of relief (or worse – gladness!) when Jewish shop owners were put out of business – propaganda informed him that it was only a matter of time before a plague of Jewish tailors showed up and stole his customers.Point Three: But did that mean they should be driven out completely?Point Four: His family. Surely, he had to do whatever he could to support them. If that meant being in the Party, it meant being in the Party.Point Five: Somewhere, far down, there was an itch in his heart, but he made it a point not to scratch it. He was afraid of what might come leaking out.
