It started on a night with broken glass.

First the glass, then the screams, and then the blood. And then, their lives were changed forever.

It marked the beginning of her brother's suffering.

As Else Schüffen struggles to define everything that is happening around her in Germany 1941, Maximilian faces a different kind of struggle. 

An adopted Jew in a Christian family, Max faces betrayal and loss, forgiveness and anger. Being a divided family with a Nazi as a brother, his fears become a reality. He must go into hiding, but with a different identity: Henrik Brandenburg, an Aryan shopkeeper.

And then there's Else, a young Aryan girl, in the midst of her brother's tumult. Painting, it seems, is the only way of escape, and the only way to keep her brother, Maximilian, in her heart forever. Through it all, there is one thing she learns. Sometimes, in order to survive, we must repair our broken wings and learn to fly again~

Chasing Colours by SmexyLermaniac

"Mein Kampf. My struggle. It is different for everyone, is it not? I just didn't want to see the world from someone else's point of view. I have my own story, so do you and so does everyone. These white pages are for me to write my story" --- x --- x---- Two young hearts in love. The propaganda that questioned humanity. A war that divided the world. The pages of history that sullied the soil. A tale was spun when Germany entered a new era with Adolf Hitler. With that tale happened the forbidden story of two young Germans in love, an Aryan and a Jew. As the world was thrown into the chaos of the Second World War and the Holocaust, new horrors unfolded in the peaceful lives of the young lovers. Death and despair that was tested with the strength of a smile or two.

The Daughter of the Führer by manhwa_girl_2006

This story, it's not an insult to anyone, it's just a story that appeared to me in a dream of mine, so if you don't like it, there's nothing I can do about it. But if you want to suggest some new scenes, I am always ready to accept new ideas, of any kind, and I will try to adapt them to the original story. ⚠️per those who are sensitive to the themes of death or extermination and war, I advise you not to read it. They are not dealt with in a big way, only in a few capitolo⚠️ Anyway, I hope you enjoy it!!🤗

Old Love Dies Hard (spinoff of life happens) by InfinitelyRadiant

COMPLETED: 28th OCTOBER, 2017 --------------------------------------------- "Every time she cried she remembered that every teardrop is a waterfall but her tears weren't waterfalls, they were floods and every time they came, they shook the building of her soul to its foundation. Yet, like floods do, they spread a layer of oblivion over her soul so it wouldn't know it was falling apart" -------------------------------------------------------- Think of the worst possible thing that can happen to you? Does losing your parents, one way or another, count? Because that is what Amna has been through. She lost her father to death and her mother to life. But she gained some beautiful relations throughout those intense years too. Nonetheless, she's one of the most cheery people out there Her theory: all that is wrong with her life is because of her. Then, just like a breath of fresh air, comes Mason Rogers and both of them become best friends instantly while Amna is on vacation. 5 years pass They cross paths again by a certain coincidence on Amna's part and no coincidence at all on Mason's part. But there is something peculiar about Amna. She's no longer one of the most cheery people. She has changed like the day turns into the night. Like the sun is replaced by the moon. Now it is up to Mason to figure her out, to bring back the girl he calls his best friend. Amna tries hard to resist Mason, to not let him break down her walls. Fate has its own plans, and they will unfold in the most beautiful way possible --- or will they? That's for me to write and for you to find out DISCLAIMER: This story contains Muslim characters but they don't "depict Islam" in any way. This story can also be read as a stand alone

Of The Dark by GoodMorningOldSport

She was a kind, everyday girl imprisoned under the tyranny of the Nazi regime. He was the self-righteous son of one of the most powerful men in the Third Reich. What kind of war will break out when these two worlds collide? - Suppression and subservience are being forcibly integrated into the life of Hana Amsel; a selfless and arguably naïve girl who has somehow found herself victim to the tyrannous and despotic rule of the Nazi Party homed in Germany. Though she insists that nothing could be worse than losing her home, freedom, and ability to proudly call herself 'German', her patience and implausible kindness are put to the test when she is forced to work for the man who spent a night violating her virtue. - Trigger Warning: Some scenes may be triggering for certain audiences with mentions of murder, suicide, rape etc.
