"War ain't pretty for anyone, Hanna, and we Jews living beneath the city are getting the worst of it."        
                                                                                                                        Hanna had a good life.  She was a relatively happy child, despite the poor village she lived  in.  Now that will all change.  Hitler has taken over much of Europe, and now his aim is Poland.  When Germans invade Hanna's little Polish village, the defenseless community of Jews stands no chance.  The Porcelain Elephant describes the horror of the Holocaust through a child's eyes, a story of survival, sacrifice, and love.

Landslide - Band of Brothers by wexhappyxfew
109 parts Complete Mature
Piano keys were her childhood, but the grasp of a pistol was her reality. Polish SOE Agent, Natia Filipska, has lurked among the rubble and the shadows of her occupied-Warsaw for years, ever since the war started and ripped her from the life that had guaranteed happiness and opportunity. The SOE took her in, as well as her two siblings, Klimeck and Ryzshard, arming them with a fighting spirit, and a chance at survival, at a life where they could avenge the ones that were taken. Being apart of the Cichociemni came next, Elite Polish Paratroopers, and it was their ticket home. Ever since her feet had then touched the ground, she had been fighting with her home and her people - the Polish Home Army. The Warsaw Uprising got her captured, and then being on the run nearly got her killed - her only ally was the pistol at her side. The Dutch Resistance of Eindhoven, Holland housed her, but it would never be her home. Upon liberation though, her path crossed with an Airborne Infantry - the 101st Airborne Division - the Screaming Eagles - American men. To ensure her safety back to Warsaw, Poland and her family, Easy Company and their men might be her only hope. But hope was lost long ago. ------------------------- " Well, I've been 'fraid of changin' 'Cause I've built my life around you But time makes you bolder Even children get older And I'm gettin' older, too...." - Landslide, Fleetwood Mac ---------- mature themes are held within the context of this story that may be triggering to some people: death, smoking, alcohol, killings, and severe depression, along with mental health issues. --------- band of brothers + oc's { October 2nd 2020 } UPDATES BEGIN - Fridays starting 10 - 2 - 20 started: 7/4/20 ended: n/a ------------------------ NEW COVER!!! done by ME!!! credits on words by @swedeandspicy
