Narrator
In Nazi Germany lies the tale of a forbidden love. It began in the year 1944, during the Holocaust. Armin Miller was the son of a respected Nazi General. He was raised in a world of pride and control. In that same society a girl by the name of Ava Goldstein was raised in a world of fear and misfortune. She was the daughter of a Jewish watch maker. How the story of the son of a Nazi and the daughter of a Jewish watch maker began was a tragedy, how it ended was a miracle. The story in between is a heart wrenching tear jerker. It begins with Ava walking home…

Setting:

In the dark cold outskirts of Berlin, Ava was walking back to her humble home from working for her uncle. Ava was suddenly stopped by four men, (who are apparently soldiers). She was frightened by their appearance.

Small Soldier
Halt!
The smallest man said in an assertive voice, while raising his hand.

Ava took a step back still very scared, her heart began to race. The man then demanded

Small Soldier
Where are your papers?

Ava
Here, here is what you want.

She replied in a shaky voice as she handed over a couple pieces of crumpled paper.

The man was looking over her papers. Meanwhile the men were glaring at her talking in a foreign tongue. She then asked in a concerned voice
Ava
Is there a problem sir?

The little man turning his head slightly towards her replied
Small Soldier
Yes, yes there is a problem

The men then took their clubs and started to walk towards her. As she turned to run she was stopped in her tracks at the sight of another soldier. When she saw him she instantly felt safer. The men stopped too, but they did not share her feeling.

Narrator
This soldier was the son of a great general. The men knew the soldier as they had been through the same training camp. The soldier’s name was Captain Armin Miller, one of the most powerful and well respected Captains.

Armin then said in a deep and powerful voice

Armin
If you don’t get out of my sight this second I will have you killed

Small Soldier
What will happen to the girl?

Armin went for his gun but the four men ran so fast that he could not get a good shot. He then said

Armin
Come, we have to hurry

Ava was still very puzzled by this whole experience. As they were running she told him where she lived. When they got to the house he slammed the door open and almost gave Ava’s dad a heart attack. Armin began telling them what was going to happen the next day and that they must move to France and wait for him to meet them there. Then he ran out of the house.
