Helen Waterford and Alfons Heck were born just a few miles from each other in the German Rhineland. But their lives took radically different courses: Helen's to the Auschwitz extermination camp; Alfons' to a high rank in the Hitler Youth. This book tells both of their stories, side-by-side, and shows that two people, cast by fate as moral enemies, can emerge from war with respect and empathy for each other.
