... allowed MAX sleep in the same bedroom as LIESEL? I wouldn't have. At first, at least.
shareMax was already weak and frail when he arrived, not as sick has he got later, but still not a threat. But that's beside the point. They had very little space, so there was no choice involved. She was going to share that room with her brother, anyway; though that would have mattered less, since he was younger, and her brother.

Another cultural and historical ignorant fool heard from.
shareIts not the sleeping in the same bedroom that's unrealistic - they only had available. It's the total lack of even the hint of sexuality being in the air there. Hard to believe that a not so awful-looking poetically-minded 20 something year old would have zero effect on a girl going through puberty.
shareUnless she really did have a crush on Rudy and couldn't see another guy that way...Also I felt there was a slight crush there. You can say she did all those sweet things (like put her neck on the line for "borrowing" a book so she can read to him) because she was a really good person but I see it as something more. Now as far as sexuality come on she's 12. At 12 I wanted to do all the cliche romantic things...sex was the farthest thing from my mind. I had my first real crush at 14, the first time I ever been in love...I still didn't think about sex
I wish I can go back in time and pinch those chubby little cheeks and tell you nothing will be ok.
I would because only back then yes there was pedophiles but it wasn't so widely broadcast as it is now (to catch a predator, alerts when a pedo move into your neighborhood) Those were simpler times and I'm sure it was assumed if you were a pedophile you have a certain air about you (boy is that far off) Also I don't know how old he is but if her is 18 or below, someone of Liesels parents age would still consider him a "child" and wouldn't have no problem with two "children" sharing a room.

Hans knew Max's father, trusted him, so he naturally trusted Max.
