Question

What might the significance be of liesel dreaming of adolf hitler? - the book thief

Answer 1

"Half asleep, Liesel dreams of Adolf Hitler speaking at a rally where Hitler smiles at Liesel, and Liesel, who is illiterate, greets him in broken German. In Liesel's dream, she does not hate Hitler as she does later in the book."

This shows the original opinion of Liesel in which she has not yet been effected by his rise to power. Serves as a contrast to later in the book. 

Answer 2

Answer:

It means that Liesel still does not understand the danger that Hitler represents, because his influence and authoritarianism has not yet affected her.

Explanation:

The Book Thief is a book written as a great criticism of Nazi Germany and the suffering caused by Hitler to the Jews and those who helped them in a certain way.

Liesel is the protagonist of the book and at first she doesn't quite understand how great Hitler's power is or what he represents, although she overhears people talking about him. At that moment, she dreams of Hitler and she does not hate him, however, as time goes by and as Hitler begins to interfere in the lives of his friends, his family and even herself, she begins to change her mind about him.
