Christmas in Germany, 1920

Author’s Note: The poignant story by Hans Christian Anderson touched me so when I first read it at age six. As I was working on “Checkmate: The Enigma of Reinhard Heydrich” I was inspired to write a completely different story to reflect the dark life in Germany after WW I. This is a dark tale, but unfortunately things like this can and do happen during hard times to many children in the world. At least this story has a happy ending — in the sense that the villains are punished. Most of the time they are not.
