It didn't turn out well for Sam's sister.

"His grandparents were pleading with the Nazis for them to let the child live. He shivered with fear. At the same time, he thought quite rationally, 'how stupid to cry when the next moment I would be dead'. The Nazi in charge did not seem to hear their pleas. His face was impassive. There was a click as he released the catch on his gun.

Just then the Nazis heard a commotion in the yard and rain outside. Through the window, Sam saw the Nazi driver was trying to kiss his sister. Feigele was about four years older than Sam and pretty, with her creamy skin and dark hair. He had already noticed the effect she seemed to have on men. The driver held her down against the car. He had torn her shirt as he tried to kiss her. The Nazi officer ordered him to let her go. Feigele fled but she was caught by one of the other Nazis, who pinned her against the barn as he ordered her to report to Gestapo headquarters" (191).
