I found another part that leads me to believe the opposite of my earlier post. On page 161, in the beginning of the chapter called "Tricksters," there is a short discussion of how "...Liesel Meminger had it easy." followed by a statement saying "...anything was better than being a Jew."
This statement leads me to believe that Liesel is actually not Jewish.
Comment with your opinions supporting or opposing this claim.

That part made me wonder. I finished the book ad I still do not have a real opinion on whether she was a jew or not. But I wonder if that part just meant that Liesel was not aware that she was a Jew? Hmmmm
