Marie was beaten by Nazis while in the Deibenwald concentration camp. She was probably killed by them.

It seems strange that there are references to two different characters named "Marie", both introduced in Captain America (vol. 1) #245 and both apparently Jewish. Is this Marie, the one who was forced to play in a concentration camp band alongside Anna Kaplebaum, the same as Marie Heller, the Nazi hunter? Based on the chronology of events and the ages of characters, it seems most likely that this is not the case, but that what happened is that Aaron Heller named his daughter "Marie" after the musician Marie he met in the concentration camp.

We need to read this story and ascertain whether this "Marie" is the same person as Nazi hunter Marie Heller.
