Hansel and Gretel

Is about Nazis. Two poor German children are left abandoned by their parents(Germany being impoverished at the time) and although they brought with them some crumbs to mark their way, the crumbs are eaten at the birds. (What little economic strength Germany had was slowly eaten away by the reparations they had to pay due to the Treaty of Versailles) The children find a house made of candy(A large house/rich house,) with an elderly woman with a large nose inside. The woman simply asks Gretel to do work for her in exchange for room and board and unfortunately has little room for Hansel, and has to keep him in confined quarters. (The children resent her for this and plot her destruction) Hansel does not want the woman to know his true strength and knows she has poor eyesight, so when the woman goes to check on him he presents to her a bone.(This is symbolic of the ignorance of the Jewish people of what the Nazis were capable of or planning) Gretel precedes to trick the woman into moving where she wants the woman to and the pushes her into an oven. (the ghettos, the camps, the ovens) Then they loot the womans house and find her jewels and run home with them.

 

Yep.
