I am enjoying this book so far. It is has two different kids perspectives. Alfons, grew up in Germany and looked up to Hitler, and Helen, a Jewish girl in Germany who did not. As Alfons was explaining what he does in school he says, "You were one of the chosen Adolf Hitlers chosen people" (1). This just shows how manipulating Hitler was, that such a young boy admired him. I think Alfons and Helen will cross paths.

My book has gotten really interesting, going back and forth the different point of views of Helen and Alfons has been really eye opening, that anyone had to live like this. Helen had been taken to a camp called Auschwitz with her husband but her daughter Doris had been left safe in hiding, "Disappearing in the crowd helped Helen stay alive..." (129). I predict that Helen will escape the camp and find her daughter.
