A Jewish fist fighter

I just finished the part of The Book Thief where Liesel fights the kids at school, and it reminded me of a part I read earlier. On the bottom of page 5, there is a list of six things marked with an asterisk, the second from the bottom being "A Jewish fist fighter." Is this forshadowing Liesel's fight? Which would make her Jewish. Or maybe another part of the story I have yet to get to?

    I never thought of it in that light, but I am a nerd and read ahead (HAHA) and I think it is foreshadowing someone you have not met yet, but I think it has a double meaning after hearing you say that.

    I too think at times that she might possibly be Jewish, but I think there's a character we don't know yet who will fill that spot.
