Lear- Book 4

The Jewish Are Coming, The Jewish Are Coming!

Max arrives at the Hubermann household.  

The book flashes back to when Hans was in the army, where he met a German Jew named Erik Vandenburg.  Erik played the accordion.  That is where Hans learned to play the accordion.  

Hans was volunteered to write letters to the captain.  As Hans was writing said letters, the rest of the men went out to fight.  They all died, including Erik.  When Hans found out about this, he took Erik's accordion to his wife.  Erik's wife told Hans to keep the accordion.

Back in the present, Hans gives in his registration to become part of the Nazi party.  As he is walking home, he sees Nazis ruining Jewish stores and homes.  Hans decides that he doesn't want to be part of the Nazis anymore.  

Max and Liesel become friends because they bond over their nightmares.  At one point, Max creates Liesel a book called Standover Man.
