Answer:
In World War II Europe.
Explanation:
Based on the details of the given excerpt from "Rena's Promise: Two Sisters in Auschwitz" by Rena Kornreich Gelissen, it is possible to know about the setting of the whole scene.
First is the setting of the narrative where the speaker talks about her brother Andrzej who <em>"had been fighting the Germans when Poland had first been invaded, but he'd been fortunate enough to escape capture"</em>. The mention of the place Tylicz which is a small town in Poland makes the setting as Europe.
Again, considering that the Germans were in conflict against the Polish, and the German's invasion, along with the title of the book "Two Sisters in Auschwitz" gives the implication that it is around the Second World War when the Jews were put in concentration camps most notably Auschwitz.
Thus, the correct place for the narrative is World War II Europe.
