* When it is revealed that Max Vanderburg survived the concentration camps and found Liesel in Frau Hermann's house. Frau Hermann taking Liesel into her house also counts as one.
** More than that...words cannot describe it. Literature/{{Discworld}}'s is not the only Death who can manage a {{SugarWiki/Heartwarming Moment|s}}. He's talking about the bombings, and it seems almost heartless... and then he says "It was only the children I carried in my arms." And to sum it all up:
-> "Even death has a heart."

* Death reassures us that Liesel had a long, happy life despite the horrors she saw. The mayor's wife insisted on adopting her, and Max was one of her lifelong friends. Liesel later moved to New York, married as an adult, and dies as a doting grandmother. After seeing her family and friends killed, it's a relief that she found a way to move forward.

Added DiffLines:

* The whole DontFearTheReaper trope throughout the book: Death is probably the sweetest, kindest character in the entire story, someone who is constantly astounded by humanity, who is just trying to do a miserable job in the nicest way they can.

--> I wanted to tell the book thief many things, about beauty and brutality. But what could I tell her about those things that she didn't already know? I wanted to explain that I am constantly overestimating and underestimating the human race -- that rarely do I ever simply estimate it. I wanted to ask her how the same thing could be so ugly and so glorious, and its words and stories so damning and brilliant.
