@koshka See why I was FORCED to splurge on it? XD My sister’s read it and I still need to 🙂 It’s coming in tomorrow….so I will be stalking our mailman….

Oooh! I must know more!!! (I just went back and looked at Wilkins’ moodboard, his little face is adorable!!)

@freedomwriter76 (I would! Because you know they make me cry over all my favorite broken charries 😪) YES!! I’m so excited for it to come in *bounces up and down*

@queen_of_alvastia. @elishavet-pidyon. @koshka. @gracie-j. So…I decided to make a small mood board thing for the SS guards/officers that actually have names and are at least a little important to the story. The others all remain unnamed. XD

They are, from left to right:

1st Row: Hans (UGH!!!! 😡), Fin (SUCH A PRECIOUS GUY! 🥰), Erich (Annoying. 😂 But gets a redemption arc in his own book, so…🤫), Riker. (MY BABY!!! 😍😍😍)

2nd Row: Jezyk (Such a sweet teenage boy. So much that happened to him.😭😭😭 Sees and does stuff no kid should have to see or do 😭😭😭), Leonard (YES! So nice and sweet and precious! Married a Jewish woman…and no one knows…except Riker…😉), Hilda. (That lady…😤 Such a jerk, just like Hans. Not as bad as him…but…pretty close! 😡😟)

[Queen_of_Alvastia]

@freedomwriter76 Ooooh this is intriguing….plus we always need those guys we love to hate, right?

So who do I need to know more about? JEZYK for one. 😊 Also FIN!!

Whoa. Those pics are awesome.

(This is random, but you know that if he married a Jewish woman all his kids will be counted full Jews?)

@queen_of_alvastia. Thanks! 😀 Yes, we do need those characters we love to hate. 😂😂😂 *cough cough* Hans and Hilda *cough cough*

Ah yes, well…I posted Fin’s (basic) whole story somewhere else here on KP. Let me go find it real fast and copy and paste it. 😉 (tho I don’t know if you want to fall in love with him, even though I love him. For a…um…certain reason…I don’t think you want to love him…🤫)

Anywho, story! 😊

Fin was the oldest of 7 kids. His father died in the First World War and his family fell into poverty. His mother, after her husband’s death, literally broke apart. And, due to health conditions, she couldn’t work. Fin dropped out of school and went to work in a factory to provide for his mother and siblings. He was only a teen, by the way. *sobs* But fast forward, Fin’s siblings all eventually married and had families of their own. But Fin stayed and took care of his mother. (There’s his caring spirit…) So, he never married. (and by the time of the book, he still isn’t married) When Hitler rose to power, Fin, like many, thought he could actually bring better back to Germany. He wanted better, mostly for his mother. He and his mother were very close. But in 1937, she died. He was broken, and he sold the house he and his mother lived in and joined the SS. He was transferred to a Concentration Camp after his training, and did it all gladly, thinking he was doing what was “best for Germany”. At this point in his life, Fin wanted absolutely nothing to do with God. But fast forward 3 years. He was doing what he was doing well and got to where he had been promoted to a much higher rank.  One day, he was assigned the duty of firing squad. He was doing it, and eventually he got to a Jewish man that, unlike everyone else, had turned to face him. He said: “God forgives you…” Fin raised his pistol towards him, thinking how he wanted nothing to do with God, when the man continued by saying: “And so do I.” As you can imagine, that shook Fin to the core. XD He couldn’t finish his job and had to rush off. He wondered how that man, as Fin literally AIMED A PISTOL at him, could forgive him, right then and there. And thus, searching began. *claps* He went to many of the Jews in the camp, and a few others, but mostly Jews, since the man had been Jewish, and asked how he could do that. Most of them wouldn’t talk to him and also didn’t have an answer. But…a small group of Jewish men, women, and even children began to talk to him, teaching him about forgiveness, sin, and they were Messianic Jews, so…they told Fin about Jesus. They showed him love, compassion, forgiveness, mercy, grace, and simply put, showed him Jesus. In a way he had never seen. The reality of his sin stared him in the face. One day, Fin finally fell to his knees in surrender and repentance. He didn’t know what God had planned, but he was tired of being so alone, and those people had proved to him, in their own special ways, that there was a God who had given all of heaven for him. For a little while, he struggled with guilt, and he still regrets what he did. (that’s why he understands how Riker feels. *wink*) He began helping Jews. Now, he’s a strong Christian man, an SS officer saving Jews, and a man who is ready to give anything and everything for the God who saved his life.

Now for Jezyk. I don’t have a whole lot for him yet, he’s still in development. 😅 However, what I do know is he was stationed in Poland for a short time and fell in love with a teenage girl there, Edyta. They both loved each other dearly and even dated without anyone knowing. But…after a few months, Edyta disappeared. Jezyk couldn’t find her…and he later learned she was taken away to…Auschwitz. 😭😭😭 He still loves her, but he was transferred away from Poland and back to Germany. There, he’s sent to the Concentration Camp Riker works at to work as a guard and, like Riker, learns about the Holocaust. And now…he fears for Edyta. 🤧 He is absolutely HORRIFIED by what he sees and struggles to cope with it. (Jezyk is only, like 16?) And when he’s ordered to do the duty of firing squad, he does it…and afterwards basically falls apart in Riker’s arms. One of the things I love is the bond that is created between him and Riker. They’re different ranks. Riker is an officer, Jezyk is not, but the bond they end up having is almost like a father/son bond and it will be SOOO precious! 🥰🥰🥰

(Riker and Fin have a mentor/mentee relationship, and I love Fin for being so supportive of Riker, among other reasons I love him. 😘)

Hmmm. Most interesting. I’m glad you’re redeeming Erich. What about the others? What happens to Leonard? Now I’m intrigued/worried. Ach!

But this is a really good idea, putting character pictures together.

(And I love the family ones, such sweet little kiddos.)

So…

Here’s one for Alyona and her sister and mother. (I can’t find pictures for my male characters, unless you count two pictures of some as children (William and Alwin) and a suit of armor riding a horse.(William) I need help.)

Anyway, it’s Alyona on the left, then Nadían on the bottom and their mother Edria on the top right. (Their biological mother. She dies before the book. *Sniff* )

You have listened to fears, child. Come, let me breathe on you... Are you brave again? -Aslan

@koshka. Thanks! 😀

(ah yes, I do know that. Sad, isn’t it? 😭😭😭 That’s why he kept it a secret. It’s a fairly new marriage. His wife hasn’t had a child yet…but she may be pregnant. 😟)

[Elishavet Elroi]

And I’ve brought up Edria, here’s the collage I made for her.

And thank you! YES, I’m glad Erich gets redeemed too! 🥰🥰🥰 Ah, yes, what exactly happens to Leonard? 🤫

I’m not quite sure yet. But he does help Riker save Jews, I do know that. 😉
