This is shown when one of the side characters Johannes Wilhem Schmidt tells Heidi, the main character how the Russians killed his sister Helga. Also, when one of the soldiers that were meant to guard Heidi got his arm blown off he died. This

“Silence. These were the habits that I wore as I lived what survivors of the Holocaust now call a U-boat, a Jewish fugitive from the Nazi death machine, hiding right in heat of the Third Reich.” With these words, Edith Hahn lays down the foundation for her captivating memoir. Born in Vienna, Austria in 1914, Edith Hahn was a Jewish girl who strived to go further in the education and not become a housewife. Despite her hopes and dreams, at the age of 27, and only one test away from achieving her law degree, Edith was turned away from her University due to the rules set up by Hitler and the Reich during the Anschluß.

Finally, she had people who understood her and were willing to listen to her. She had people who believed in her, stood by her when she had her baby. The girls were not perfect, she had some not so good moments with them but even in their imperfections, they were people she could relate with.

This is an indication of a sense of belonging.

Hitler and the Holocaust is a very informational novel written by Robert S. Wistrich that not only explains this horrible time in history, but also gives us a look into the mind of Hitler and Nazi ideology.
