“Did you hear?” A young man with locks golden hair asks, biting into a piece of toast.
“Hear what?”  A man sitting opposite of him at the breakfast table looks up from the newspaper he’s actively reading.
“I heard they’re arresting people like us, I’m not sure if it’s true, but Jürgen told me he hasn’t heard from his friends in weeks, and the last thing he heard they got a knock on the door in the middle of the night, and you know what that means.”
“You’re kidding me right?”
“I wish I was.” The man with the golden hair wishes he was just messing with his boyfriend, but he was sincere as anything, on the contrary to his usual trickster behaviour.  The other man purses his lips into a pout, obviously deep in thought. He’s probably thinking, Why us, why are they targeting us, there is worse people out there.

“Hey Erika!” A girl calls out to her to friend in the street, running up to her and embracing her briefly.
“Katja! It’s been so long.” The rather tall, brunette named Erika calls back to her friend, with a rather large smile on her face.
“I haven’t seen you in ages, where have you been? I haven’t even seen you at BDM meetings, did you stop going?” Katja continues smiling, but Erika doesn’t, her face drops.
“Katja I can’t be a member anymore.”
Katja’s face screws up into a mixture of confusing and disgust.
“Why not? Don’t you want to honour our country?”
“I’m Jewish Katja, don’t you know this?”
“Don’t say that so loud, it doesn’t matter, it’s not as if they are going to kill you for that, you were born in Germany, this is your home, you can be a member of the BDM all you want.”
Erika’s frown deepens, her friend really doesn’t understand her situation.
“Katja, Remember how I told you I didn’t really like guys, and how I prefer girls far more?”
“How can I forget, you scared the life out of the leader of our group.”
“Yes well, being Jewish is a crime enough, but being homosexual is a death sentence, and I know it, as a few friends I knew in the community have been taken away, they are being killed and I know it. its illegal.”
“That’s a lie Erika, our country wouldn’t hurt people over something so silly.”
“They would.”
Erika walks away, with feelings of guilt, misery and pain swelling up in her gut, her friend just doesn’t understand the danger she’s in.

“I want to join the War effort”
“You can’t, they don’t let sissy and fairies fight a tough man’s war, just stay on the sideline, you’ll help your country far better that way.”
“I don’t have to tell them I’m gay, do you really think being gay will make any difference when I’m shootin’ Japs in the head?”
“You could fall in love with him and next thing you know you’re in one of their prison camps.”
“You guys are absolute idiots!” The man, with slick black hair stands up, pushes his chair in and walks away. He can’t believe what his stupid friends are saying. He’s just as capable as fighting in the war as any other man. He’s sure what he’s going to do now, he’s going to prove his ‘Friends’ wrong. He’s going to war.

A man with short locks of brown hair, and brown eyes that shine golden in the sunlight sits at his desk with pen and ink, writing in his tattered, hand-made diary. He hasn’t seen his ‘Special’ friend in a week and he’s beginning to think what he was saying about their people being arrested was true. No one is safe in this world anymore, he writes. How can one feel like their country is great when all their country wants is them 6 feet in the ground? He takes a swig of strong coffee from his old mug, he got it as a present from his mother for his 12th birthday, and he’s had it for 12 years. There’s ring of coffee stained deep into the mug from him forgetting about his drink, and a chip in the handle.
He ponders deeply on the situation, but all the thinking in the world couldn’t prepare him for what news he was going to be hearing from a distant friend.

As if wearing a yellow star wasn’t degrading enough, her parents had disowned her for being who she was, “It’s against God’s will!” They said to her before she left with a light suitcase filled with what she felt she needed for her life. There was no place in this world for her. She was being discriminated for things she couldn’t help. It was only a matter of time before she would become just another statistic. She’s heard the stories that happen to both homosexuals and Jews, and she was both. Jews being sent to work camps, and homosexuals sent away and never coming back. She feared her life.
