"Liesel heard the repeated sentences several times, and it took a lot to stay by the door. Shed have loved to comfort him, but she had never seen a man so
devastated. There were no consolations that night. Max was gone, and Hans
Hubermann was to blame.

The kitchen cupboards were the shape of guilt, and his palms were oily with the
memory of what hed done. They must be sweaty, Liesel thought, for her own
hands were soaked to the wrists".

In this quote by Zusak, Hans shows just how much he regrets helping that jew with the bread.  Because Hans gave the Jew bread Max had to flee because it attracted attention and Hans feels a terrible amount of guilt after he ends up being whipped for the decision he made. Zusak says " the Kitchen cupboards were the shape of guilt." and " his palms were oily with the memory of what he'd done." Zusak is saying that Hans feels guilt and has blood on his hands and everything reminds him that he is the reason that max is gone and he is the one that will be responsible for his inevitable death. Even the cupboards remind him of that feeling of guilt and shame.

"She'd heard it several times in the past years, "communist" there were boarding houses crammed with people, rooms filled with questions. And that word. That strange word was always there somewhere, standing in the corner, watching from the dark. It wore suits, uniforms. No matter where they went there it was, each time her father was mentioned. She could smell it and taste it  She just couldn't spell or understand it.  When she asked her mother what is meant, she told that it wasn't important, that she shouldn't worry about such things."

Analysis- The word she is confused and doesnt understand is communist. she remembers it faintly and knows that she's heard it but can't understand it or place it in a sentence. Death is hinting at the fact that her father was a communist and her mother is avoiding telling them that because she doesn't want Leisel to know that if the nazis find out they will kill her. that is why they are on the run.
