Presenting a stark contrast, two true stories of Hitler's Germany are told in alternating sections.

The two accounts are those of Helen who hides in Holland, gives up her child to the care of a non-Jewish family, and is shipped to Auschwitz (coincidentally with Anne Frank’s family); and the story of young Alfons, whose blind faithfulness to the Fuhrer and his own sense of self-importance allowed him to rise to the top of the Hitler Youth. Candid excerpts from autobiographies of both illuminate their drastically different characters and perspectives.

Quantities are limited.
