But their lives took radically different courses: Helen's to the Auschwitz extermination camp; Alfons to a high rank in the Hitler Youth. \u003cbr\u003e While Helen was hiding in Amsterdam, Alfons was a fanatic believer in Hitler's \"master race.\" While she was crammed in a cattle car bound for the death camp Auschwitz, he was a teenage commander of frontline troops, ready to fight and die for the glory of Hitler and the Fatherland. This book tells both of their stories, side-by-side, in an overwhelming account of the nightmare that was WWII. The riveting stories of these two remarkable people must stand as a powerful lesson to us all.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aladdin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47028010811632,"sku":"9780689832369","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780689832369_p0.jpg?v=1763789280","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780689832369","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
