On page 4, Hillenbrand writes, “The ship passed over Nuremberg, where fringe politician Adolf Hitler,
whose Nazi Party had been trounced in the 1928 election, had just delivered a speech touting selective
infanticide. Then it flew east of Frankfurt, where a Jewish woman named Edith Frank was caring for
her newborn, a girl named Anne.” Why do you think Hillenbrand uses these allusions, references to
Adolf Hitler and Anne Frank, as part of Louie's story?
