1939 [On Hold/Editing]

September 2nd, 1939

"Mama, my legs hurt and my stomach is begging for food." I complain. We had been walking ever since we left, without a break.

"Drogi, we will rest soon, and then eat some bread." She assures me. I sigh and continue walking.

Throughout the trip, the realization that most of my family had died dawned on me. I had cried so much, that I didn't have any tears left. Mama just kept walking, checking every now and then to making sure we were going the right direction.

"Mama, it's dark. Can we sleep?" I persisted.

She turns around. "Fine, drogi." She sets a blanket down and a pillow. Then she rips a piece of bread off and gives it to me.

"Dziękuję, Mama." I gratefully eat the bread and shut my eyes, drifting off to sleep.

~Meanwhile~

Once Hitler had a base of operations within the target country, he immediately began setting up "security" forces to annihilate all enemies of his Nazi ideology, whether racial, religious, or political. Concentration camps for slave laborers and the extermination of civilians went hand in hand with German rule of a conquered nation. For example, within one day of the German invasion of Poland, Hitler was already setting up SS "Death's Head" regiments to terrorize the population.

Sorry this was so short, but I promise the next chapter will be longer. It would also be helpful if you guys comment or vote, so I can know if I should continue this story.
