Review
World War II brought great disaster to the Jews, because of the crazy behavior of Nazi officers, an unknown number of Jews died here, at that time the Nazis caught almost no possibility of survival, everyone was trying their best to escape.
But just a few years ago, a scholar of World War II history stumbled upon a strange photograph of a Jewish woman in a concentration camp established by the Nazis in Germany during World War II.
This woman made the scholar feel very strange, she did not show a numb and painful expression like other women, but also had a rich face and a happy smile.
If it were not for the annotations behind the photographs, scholars would even have thought that the British princess had come to inspect the camp, which was seriously inconsistent with the reality at the time, and also aroused the curiosity of scholars to find out.
Finally, under the investigation of scholars, a story of Nazi officers and Jewish female prisoners falling in love is revealed, which is a forbidden love, especially in the hellish life.
Helen scrambled to seize Auschwitz
On September 1, 1939, Hitler declared war on Poland, setting off the prelude to World War II; three years later, in order to raise the resources for war in the shortest possible time and put all the domestic forces into the war, Hitler finally decided to attack the Jews.
In March 1942, a piercing line of gunfire was crossed over the small Slovak town, and a large number of Nazi soldiers rushed into the town, completely breaking the calm time here. Because small Slovak towns are Jewish dwellings, thousands of Jewish residents live here.
Hitler wanted to shoot the Jews, and the inhabitants of the small Slovak towns could not escape.
It didn't take long for the gunfire to stop and about 1,000 Jews were put on a train to Auschwitz, including a 19-year-old Jewish girl named Helena Citronova, who translates to Helen.
Helen was mentally prepared for her future, she was not one of the first Jews to be sent to concentration camps, which, according to other people's accounts, were just synonymous with hell.
But the Auschwitz commander did not seem to be in a hurry to execute them, perhaps because he was looking good on helen's new Jews, and the Nazis first sent them to do hard labor, help demolish some dilapidated buildings, and then dig up and cut down wood, and Auschwitz was still renovating.
When the construction of the concentration camp was almost completed, Helen and the women who lived in the concentration camp lost their value. On this day, some of the women in the small Slovak town were drawn, and they were taken by the Nazi officers to a high wall, which was a precarious old wall, and about 6 meters above their heads, the wall tiles kept falling, and the smashing of people was a blood hole.
It was a game of life and death based on luck, and Helen could not move them, otherwise the Nazi officers behind them would shoot them directly.
Helen's luck was good, she stood without the wall tiles falling, but her friend died tragically in front of her eyes, which made Helen very afraid. Every day they live in this fear of life and death, and when the night comes, several girls squeeze into the box to cheer each other up, no one knows if tomorrow will be their turn, but the number of girls in the box has been decreasing.
In order to escape the fate of death, Helen tried everything to find a chance to live, and after many inquiries, she learned from other townspeople that there was a camp called "Little Canada" that was relatively loosely managed.
Although the tiring work never stopped, it was not as risky as it was now to be smashed to death; sometimes the officers there were in a good mood and distributed clothes to their prisoners. After getting the news, Helen tried her best to blend into the Little Canada camp.
There are also love vignettes in the camps
There was also an episode during this time, when Helen was discovered by the guards wearing the prison clothes of the Little Canadian camp, who wanted to put her in the gas chamber and execute her, but it was the birthday party of their commander today, and needed the help of a beautiful singing girl. Helen hastened to say she could sing, which was her only chance to live.
Although the guard did not believe the girl in front of him, there was no other choice but not to, Helen's request was granted, but before leaving, the guard warned her that if she lied and ruined the atmosphere of the banquet, she would be executed immediately, without mercy!
Fortunately, Helen was naturally beautiful, and her songs touched everyone present, and the Nazi officers seemed to forget that the girl in front of them was Jewish, and they all indulged in her flexible voice.
After a while, a young officer suddenly stepped forward, and instead of coming to take Helen with him, he invited her, in a personable manner, to sing another song, which the officer hoped would be played for herself alone.
Helen was accustomed to the brutality and ruthlessness of Nazi officers, and it was the first time she had seen a gentleman like a young officer, and she could not refuse the officer's request.
The two later fell in love, and in a deeper understanding, Helen discovered that the young officer was really very different from the other Nazis. His eyes were filled with warmth, without the bloody indifference of the other Nazis; he hated everything in the concentration camps, but as a soldier he could only accept it.
Helen was the entire spiritual pillar of the officers, but the love between the two could not be made public, because it was absolutely intolerable in the eyes of the superiors. However, the officer was still able to use his position to give Helen the greatest protection, and the love between the two blossomed intoxicating flowers in the war.
We know that this love is doomed to have no end, but like the picture that the scholar turned out later, at least for that moment, Helen smiled as she had always been, enjoying all the happiness she could get.
epilogue
Later, as World War II drew to a close, Helen was separated from the young officers, who were later rescued from Auschwitz by the Red Army and brought to court-martial. Later, Helen started a new family, and she wrote about this in her diary, which had been the love of her life.
