Chapter 1: Setting the Stage
A/N: PLEASE READ! Because of the diversity on Glee, I wondered who would survive the Holocaust. I used the List of Glee Character on Wikipedia. Then I went to the Holocaust page to figure out what might have happened. I needed to interoperate the information, so I would say that this story is 85% fact, 10% imagination, and 5% trying to make a good story. This will be divided into three part, kind of like a before, during, and after piece. I will deviate a tiny bit from the show, but I will note that at the bottom.
Disclaimer: I am not the amazing genius who owns Glee.
Setting: 1934 in Nazi Germany
(1st Person POV- Dave Karofsky)
'I remember how easy life was last year. Being ashamed of my sexuality and taking it out on Kurt, just because he had come to terms with being gay,' I thought wistfully, wondering how things could have changed so drastically.
It all started when Adolf Hitler became the Chancellor of Germany. Well, it actually started when the Nazi party was formed, but in Lima, the richest city in our great county, we weren't affected the fascists at first. They targeted the citizens in poverty that were so desperate for change that they turned to radicals, so no one I knew supported their insane ideas. In Lima, things were perfectly fine the way they were.
Then he came to power and started making all these absurd laws. Even then I ignored the signs of terrible changes and focused on the drama in my own life: kissing Kurt and trying to cover it up.
I couldn't have even dreamed the extent of the changes to my life. It was a nightmare.
Then, it came to a point when I couldn't ignore what was happening in my very own Lima. The Gestapo came to our school.
To protect the Aryan children, they decided to purify the faculty first. Principal Figgins was deemed to be from a non- Aryan part of India, and was hauled away. Ms. Pillsbury was also hauled away because of her OCD. The Gestapo assumed that Coach Beiste was either a lesbian or a transgender because of her passion for football, a "man's" sport, and lack of a husband, but they officially labeled her as antisocial*. Around a quarter of the staff was taken away. But the Aryan faculty wasn't stupid.
Mr. Schuester had grabbed the first two minorities he saw, a couple of Asians**, and hurried them out of the school. I watched as they were caught crossing the parking lot and all three were hauled away, but not before Mr. Schuester had called Kurt's father.
Mr. Hummel successfully got Kurt out of our school***, but I heard rumors that the Gestapo at Dalton Academy had caught them, while trying to rescue Kurt's boyfriend. The rumor went on to say that Mr. Hummel was imprisoned and that Kurt and Blaine were sterilized and placed in an institution. 'I never apologized for being so harsh****,' I thought. 'What if I never will?'
Then the Nazi police turned their focus on the students. Rachael was crying while they took her away. Puck tried fighting the Gestapo, but it was hopeless. They shot him on the spot. His blood was spilled on the floor, and, while some of my classmates turned pale and ran away, others started cheering for the Gestapo. I had never witnessed something so cruel yet so close to home before.
Then they started looking for the non-Aryans. Mercedes was removed from our school because of something she is (or was) very proud of, her African heritage. Santana, being of Latin American decent, was taken to some unknown locale also. Even Becky was taken away. I heard a soldier mumble as he passed her "burden to society."
A/N:
*I don't think Coach Beiste is lesbian/transgender in the show, but the Nazis would.
**Tina and Mike. I an not to certain what parts of Asia the actors are, because Japanese were considered honorary Aryans. If anyone knows what countries they are from, please PM or review.
***Obviously their school's not called William McKinley if it's in Germany.
****Sorry, he apologized in "Prom Queen, but I am going somewhere with this.
Please Review!
