Anyone want to hear my Nazi story that won an award????? It's from the point of view of a former Nazi as he is sitting in his trial and thinking back to seventy years ago, the holocast.

None of us really know what their options were.

Yeah, I dunno--"I didn't have a choice" seems a bit flaky. But he's really nice . . . *frown* Most people don't like him simply because of that. It's a hard thing. *sigh* Well, at least I'm not related to him: my real great-grandfather died a REALLY long time ago, but I don't remember him at all . . . *trails off, thinking about the family soap opera*

How are you not related? If you don't want to answer that's okay, but it's intriguing!

Well, my REAL great-grandfather died a long time ago, and I don't remember him at all, and he (the Nazi dude) is my great-grandmother's third husband. It was funny going to her wedding two years ago when she was ninety (yeah, ninety . . .). The first wedding I went to was the wedding of a ninety-year-old woman: sounds pretty silly, doesn't it? ;) But now, sadly, she's losing her memory and she's in the hospital. Sometimes she doesn't recognize us anymore. :(

A book that you'll like: The Devil's Arithmetic by Jane Yolen. My grandma's uncle came from Russia. And on my dad's dad's side I am the fifth generation from Russia. My mom, I have no idea.

Yay!!!!! People remember me!!! ok, here's part 1 of my story "Remembering"
"Please stand." The judge's voice is hard, unforgiving. I stand, my knees shaking. As the prosecutor rattles off his list of complaints, I think back. Seventy years ago. I got away with i. Only now was I caught. Seventy years ago...the time of the Nazis and Hitler. And I was with them.
I can still remember the feel of my polished boots, how i stood taller in them as I marched down the the streets of our Fatherland. The Jews bowed to me, fear of punishment lingering in their minds. I spat at their feet. They should not roam freely in great Germany. I remember how i reached for my gun as I saw them, but I decided to wait. Wait for the trains...
OK, there's part one! Ready for part two, o circle of wide-eyed listeners?

Definitely! You're a great writer; keep it up. Coincidentally, my Hebrew School class is studying the Holocaust this year.
(April 5, 2009 - 4:34 pm)
Go on! I really want to know about this nasty Nazi dude! :)

Part 2:
...And the trains came, I remember ow I sealed the door to the cars, how the Jews inside screamed and kicked. And I remember how it felt as the train pulled out. It felt wonderful.
Another train came for me, lush velvet seats and fine food. I remember how it trailed the Jewish trains, over towering mountains, through the towns of the Fatherland. I remember finally seeing the death camp before us; we called it Buchenwald. I watched the Jews climb out, dazed and thin. I knew they were soon to be no more; disappearing into the smoke that poured into the sky. I remember watching them herded into an airtight building. Never to come out.
And I remember throwing my head back and gleefully laughing, surrounded by the smoke, fire, and ashes. I laughed in Buchenwald...
Story time will continue tomorrow, children :)
