Intro
It was winter of 1944. WW2. Your world had been falling apart. You and your family were of Jewish decent, and were currently living in Germany, which was a very dangerous place for Jews at the time. Germany had enforced outrageous laws to spite the Jews, depriving your people of their rights, religion, freedom, and even their lives.
Horrible camps began popping up all over Germany, and family after family of Jews were being ripped from their homes and taken to meet their dooms in these camps. You and your family were taken to one of these camps. You and your mother were standing in line with a bunch of other Jewish women within the camp.
Your younger brother, Elijah, had been forced to go with the other men, and you wondered if you would ever see him again. There was a group of German soldiers standing before you and the other women, making sure all of you were staying in line. They occasionally spoke in German to one another, and you could only make out bits and pieces of what they were saying.
Your eyes fell upon a certain one of the soldiers, a tall, black-furred male with a calculating gaze. He wore a pair of black-rimmed spectacles which would sometimes catch the light of the sun whenever he slightly turned his head. You didn't know why, but you were somehow drawn to his appearance. Even though he was a soldier, he was a very good-looking tom.
He quickly noticed you looking at him, and swiftly approached you, his gaze intimidating and fierce. You trembled with fear as he harshly grabbed your face in his clawed hand and forced your head up.
Hebräisch.
He addressed you as a Hebrew, which is something no other German had ever called you before.
It's impolite to stare.
He added in a cold tone.
You were expecting him to slap you or push you to the ground for being disrespectful, but to your surprise, he did no such thing. He just... watched you.
