Helen
Alfons
•Many Jews were sold
out and betrayed by
the Germans they
were living with
because the Germans
were bribed with the
Jews possessions and
money.

neither was the
rest of the Hitler
Youth, they were
brain washed into
thinking it was
right.

Concentration
Camps
•When the Jews are
beginning to be sent to
concentration camps like
Auschwitz, it is the
downfall of most of
them, seeing as most of
them die In the
concentration camps.
•When Auschwitz opens
this is when Hitler
makes a big lie, a lie
saying that the Jews are
just being sent to work,
not to be killed.
•When Alfons and other
Hitler youth find out
what is happening to the
Jews this is when they
start to believe what
Hitler was a mad man.
