About This Book

Eleanor Ayer tells the true stories of Helen, a Jewish girl who grew up near Frankfurt, Germany, and Alfons, a boy born just a few miles away on a farm. Helen was shipped to the Auschwitz extermination camp. Alfons embraced the Nazi Youth. Over 40 years later, Alfons and Helen met and found they shared a common purpose — to help people understand that peace and compassion is possible between individuals, and on a larger scale as well. Young Adult.
