In 1944, thirteen-year-old Fritz Tubach was almost old enough to join the Hitler Youth in his German village. That same year, in a Hungarian village, twelve-year-old Bernie Rosner was loaded onto a train, with the rest of the village's Jewish inhabitants, and taken to Auschwitz where his whole family was murdered.
