Hans Hubermann Jr. is the son of Hans Hubermann and Rosa Hubermann. He is an ardent supporter of the Nazis. 1939

Hans, like his sister Trudy, only visits his parents' house on Christmas. On Christmas 1939, the first Christmas Liesel Meminger spends with the Hubermanns, he has a fight with his father about his father's failure to obtain membership in the Nazi Party (due to an earlier event in which his father had painted over vandalism in a house belonging to a Jewish family). In the middle of the discussion, he suggests that Liesel should be reading Mein Kampf. He leaves angrily and is not seen again. (That may indicate that he is dead)
