Pictures make a story come alive!
Author's Response: Glad you think so.

When I read this story, although it's through a third person view, it has an almost vivid feeling of what's seen through and thought of. It's also close to accurate, so I'm going to be really interested in reading this ^^
Keep it up, and update it soon. A lot of readers would be interested in it ^^
Author's Response: Thanks! I almost always write third person, so I add lots more detail than usual. As for this story, I will try to describe everything in as much detail as possible so it paints a picture. And I'm glad you think is close to accurate, that is my goal. I'm keeping it as close to accurate as possible while adding fictional characters and happenings. So I hope I don't disappoint.
Again, thanks. And it will be updated as soon as it's typed, I've handwritten the story, so I'm having to transfer it to the computer as I go.

1. How was it?
AWESOME, i've made a research about Mengele (AKA angel of death) a little while ago. And it's very witty and smart of you to put the twins into that situation, this story has so much potentials, i can't wait to read more.
2. Would y'all want pictures, yes or no, explain.
Yes, althought we didn't get to that part again, but pictures combined with the story makes perfection *tries hard to ignore the "y'all" part*
3. I know it was short, but review, bitte?
I am reviewing!
Update soon pleaaaaase? pretty pretty please? *bats lashes cutely*

Author's Response: I'm actually glad that more people have heard of Mengele than I thought. He's not as well-known as others. And the reason I asked about pictures is because of the grotesqueness of some of the Holocaust pictures. I'll update soon, but I'm not sure how soon since you don't like my "y'all" =D
Sorry to say, but I am as Southern American as they come and when I type in the notes sections, I usually type the way I speak. But don't worry about it showing up in the actual story, only time that will happen is if it is the dialect.

okay i didn't want to read this but i saw how all the review you where getting where great so then i just had to read it and i'm happy i did. i plan to read this all the way till the end. picture would be okay but just the link and the people that don't want to see them don't have to. i can't wait to you update again = ]
Author's Response: Well I'm glad you changed your mind! The things that will be described (and are the reason for the warning) most likely won't be any more graphic than things described in other stories, but I felt I had to put an additional warning because the events actually happened, and that usually makes it worse for some people. I hadn't thought about the links idea for the more hard-to-look-at photos. If I can figure out how to create a link I may try it. Thanks for the idea and I hope you continue to read!

I'm very tentatively giving this story a try. I think it was well written and accurate, I suspect it's going to get a whole lot worse, and I'm curios who's perspective it's going to be written in now that mom's gone. Pictures of what? I think you can leave the pictures out on this one.
Don't most Roma have dark hair?
Author's Response: Thanks. I hope the warning in the summary didn't scare anyone off, but as stated I refuse to sugarcoat this story and I plan on making it as historically accurate as I can. The pictures would vary between simple pictures of the historical figures mentioned to pictures from the camps to the holocaust survivors. And yes, most Roma do, but you will find out why the mother has red hair and the twins have blond. I promise that there is a reason.
But thank you for reading, however tentatively it is.

That was really well written, I can't wait to read what happens next, and pictures would be good too! Keep it up!
Author's Response: Thank you. The next chapter will be up soon, it's already written, just needs to be typed. And depending on how many want pictures will determine which kind get added. Thanks for reading!

as a polish person i'm quite curious how will you show this time period and stuff. i will definitely read your story.
Author's Response: Cool. This will be from the victims' points-of-view and I will not only be using my personal collection of history books and documents, but also search engines (of course) and my great-uncle's experience. He was a fighter pilot for the US and got shot down over Germany. He told me stories of the concentration camp he went to, so if there's something you can't verify using the internet it most likely came from his stories.

The description you used is amazing; it was easy to picture everything as it happened. It was a bit short, but this is also just the prologue. The time period this entire story is based on has always interested me, und I'm very interested und curious as to how this story is going to go. I'm tracking this story und I look forward to reading more. Please, do update soon. ^^
Author's Response: Thank you. I want to create mental pictures with the descriptions in this story, so I'm glad you liked the detail. Thanks for tracking this and I'll update as soon as I transfer the next chapter from paper to Microsoft Word.
