The Book Thief

scenes of emotional distress, moderate threat

threat and horror
In the wake of a wartime bombing raid, a child discovers some dead bodies and is clearly distressed. She cries over the bodies, pleading with them not to be dead, and cradles them briefly. There is no sight of graphic or bloody injuries. One sequence reconstructs the events of the 1938 'Kristallnacht', showing Nazis smashing the windows of Jewish businesses, dragging Jews into the street, and kicking them as they lie on the floor. In another scene, a Jewish man is forced from his home; when another man attempts to intervene, he is pushed to the ground and is subsequently seen to have a bloodied head. Further threat occurs as Nazis are shown searching houses and marching Jewish people through the streets.
additional issues
There is some mild violence as a young girl fights a bully in the playground, delivering some punches to his body. The bully is also seen to slap another young boy on the face. There is very brief sight of a young boy who has died as a result of an illness, with a small trickle of blood running from his nose. His body is wrapped in a blanket and then buried. There is some very mild bad language, including uses of ‘hell’.
