Chandler riggs🇩🇪✡️

Germany, Berlin — 1938. 🇩🇪

The atmosphere in the streets was growing increasingly tense. Chandler Riggs, an 18-year-old German, was walking past a small bookstore when he noticed a girl leafing through a book by the window. It was Mery Dixon, a 17-year-old Jewish girl.

As they reached for the same book, their hands brushed against each other.

Chandler: "Oh, sorry," he murmured, stepping back with a shy smile . "I didn't mean to take it from you."

Mery returned his gaze with curiosity. Chandler didn't seem like the other boys she knew, but she also had no reason to trust him.

He looked at the book in his hands and let out a small laugh.

Chandler: —Do you like German literature? I don't know many people my age who come here for anything other than homework.

Outside, the voices of uniformed men echoed through the street. Chandler glanced briefly toward the window and then back at her, still not knowing who the girl really was or how this encounter would change their lives.
