Answer and Explanation:

Although he was not a Jew, Hans suffered similar experiences to many Jewish children during World War II, because he also suffered from the Nazi regime and had to hide in order not to be arrested and tortured, in addition to having died because of that regime.

Hans was not a Jew, but he did not support the Nazi position of the Germans, he hid Jews in his home, erased anti-Semitic messages and helped the Jews in any way he could. All this hidden and very afraid of being discovered.
