You Win, sort of. You weren't able to help out the Rabbi, but in the end there's just so much a family can do. the Liebermans successfully stay in hiding for a couple more years and eventually escape to Sweden. The fate of the Brauns is unknown as the war enters Berlin itself, but this is the best available ending of the adventure. World war 2 was a terrible war that unnecessarily took countless lives, whether people tried to stop that or not.

END: can't help, but make it out alive
It's enough of a struggle still feeding her own family, so Mrs. Braun insists that she is unable to help the Rabbi. The Rabbi understands, and decides to go wandering in attempt to find a different hiding place. Everyone feels bad about the situation, but there's not much that they're able to do in the middle of World War 2.
END: try to help, but everyone loses
The following day, Mrs. Braun repeats her daily walk with some more bread and cheese in her jacket than usual. As expected, the policeman is strolling the streets where he always does as Mrs. Braun walks bye. She says hi, glad that nothing is suspicious yet. Before she could finish her thought though, a loaf of bread had fallen from underneath her coat and right infront of the officer's feet! Trying to blow it off, Mrs. Braun quickly grabs the bread and starts walking, but the cop buys none of it. He handcuffs her and demands that she take him to where she was taking the food, otherwise he was authorized to kill her. She leads the policeman to the hiding place and reveals the Liebermans and Rabbi, who are mortified upon being revealed. The police later enter the Braun apartment and arrest Father Braun and his kids, and in the end both families find themselves on a box car to Saschsenhausen, a local concentration camp.
You lose! Good on you for trying to help people in need, but in the end that costed your family their future as they are treated as poorly as the Jews once convicted. The Nazis had little tolerance if any, and sadly theirs ran out before they caught you. There are two other endings though, if you'd like to replay

END: become the Nazi, Liebermans suffer
Later that week, the SS storm through the Apartment. Without any justification other than brute force, they take the Liebermans and trash their apartment. They are taken to a transfer camp to be prepared to go to some labor camp in east Germany.
You lost! You became bitter from the war and lost hope in the future, and let that in turn cause the Liebermans to be sent to an unknown fate at a camp. You might want to try again, this ending is one of the worse ones.
Out of the party; playing hide and seek
The year is 1939, and Jews are being deported en mass from Berlin to concentration camps. The Brauns have been helping hide Mr. and Mrs. Lieberman in a shed near their house- their kids were sent up North to be safe from the Nazis. It's been a couple months since the incident with the Spielsons, and Mr. Braun's textile factory is doing pretty bad.
Mrs. Braun is walking her daily walk, and wearing a large coat to hold food in as she goes to visits the Liebermans. This has become a regular trek, and isn't very suspicious. After arriving at the hidden entrance to the secret compartment in the shed, Mrs. Braun is surprised to see the local Rabbi in the hiding place as well! The Liebermans understand her confusion, and humbly attempt to ask her if she could start bringing more food to help feed the Rabbi. Mrs. Braun [tries her hardest to explain that she can barely feed her own kids already, and that it would be too much effort to feed him too]
ooooor, she [gives in, accepting to feed the Rabbi too]
ooooor, she [gives in, accepting to feed the Rabbi too]
Soooo Mancala's sort of canceled
Mr. Spielson asks, "Why is a Jew interrupting my supper prayer?"
"Oh my, I was just coming over for Mancala night; us and the Brauns do this every Saturday" shared mr. Lieberman. Horrified, Mr. Spielson gets up, and directs his family to leave this home immediately. At the door, Mr. Spielson yells that, "You shall not come to the next NSDAP meeting, Mr. Braun!"
Mr. Braun, left with the awkward situation of having a glazed ham on the table and a hungry family wanting to eat, decides to [forgive Mr. Lieberman, and not care about his removal from the NSDAP]
Keeping tradition with friends
Mr. Braun ends up continuing with the plans for Mancala, while Mrs. Braun is upset that she can't make glazed ham for the Spielsons. The Liebermans come over. Mr and Mrs. Lieberman play Mancala with the Brauns, while their children entertain themselves waiting for supper. During a really intense part of the Mancala match, everyone hears something
*knock knock knock*
"Someones at the door" Mr. Braun gets up to open the door, revealing Mr. Spielson to be the knocking culprit! Spielson begins to speak, but his jaw is left agape and silent when he notices the Yellow stars on the Liebermans clothing.
"I-I- think it would be best i-if you didn't come to the next NSDAP meeting, mr. Braun" uttered Spielson, as he walked out the door.
"Mr. Braun, I'm so sorr- "
"It's okay, Mr. Lieberman. I didn't enjoy the religious attitude of the meetings anyway" Father Braun tried thinking positively.
