progressive. Their was a good relation between normal Berliners and
the Jewish people was good. While in public schools Alfred was one of
the only Jewish kids. He didn’t really have a favorite thing in
school but he liked school. Alfred was falsely accused as a political
opponent so he turned himself. Hoping his actions would help protects
his brothers form the Nazis. He was sent to Schsenhausen

brutal treatment form the Nazis during his time in the camp.
After six weeks of

organization helped Alfred get a visa to immigrate to France where he
lived in Paris. Till he was given permission to move to Colombia. The
