But their lives took radically different courses: Helen's to the Auschwitz concentration camp; Alfons to a high rank in the Hitler Youth. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhile 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.
