(I did some work for some Jewish friends of mine, and told them how I loved to read stories and have them published. They offered to give me the true love story of a couple facing death over their love for each other. I found their courage and commitment truly invigorating and inspirational. I think it is one of the greatest love stories of all time. I think you will surely agree as well. It all happened in a place called Nazi Germany. A loving wife was determined to hold onto her loving husband under a strict threat of death. She surprisingly lived to tell her tale of unabashed victory. Now you can read about it too. It is a part of history and it really did happen. An inspiration to all devoted couples who need to overcome.)
January 30, 1933 In Berlin, Germany
The news on the radio sent shivers down Leah's spine. Adolf Hitler had just been named Chancellor, the most powerful position in the German Government by the aging President Hindenburg.
Rudolph Weiss sat next to her, his white Austrian face leaning on her black German shoulder. They had just finished making love for the very first time.
"I heard he is against all Jews," she whispered, her stunning black curls framing a delicate face of sweetly sculpted cheeks and dazzling shiny brown eyes, their plump and seductive lashes luring him into yet another kiss.
His handsome mouth lingered on her thick red painted lips, then pulled away to brush sensually off her trembling shoulders and small but perky breasts. He paid special attention to her still swollen nipples and she sighed at the escalating pleasure brought by his skilful lips. She sensed he wanted to make love to her again, and she reached for his volatile erection, squeezing it teasingly and letting her fingers run along its still steel hard length.
"You're insatiable," she whispered.
He glanced at the virgin blood spatter on her inner thighs.
"Maybe we shouldn't again for a while," he managed. "You're probably sore after your first time."
"Au contraire, my love. It was wonderful, and exceeded all my expectations. There was a bit of sharp pain at first, but it subsided. I'm fine now, and on fire for you."
She lay on her side and he let his warm hands wrap around the sides of her slender body, until the palms of his hands gripped her shoulder blades. He pulled her closer, savoring the pressing of their chests together, then he kissed her mouth lavishly.
She let her tongue sword with his, and lift her leg instinctively over top of his, allowing him access to the trembling pink tunnel that was so enthralled and desperate to be penetrated one more time.
He thrust gently inside and she gasped her approval, but in the back of her mind, the latest tidbit of news on the radio seemed to linger in her pleasure filled brain. She had heard Hitler's speeches against Jews, and how he viewed them as 'second class citizens and racially inferior.' She had also heard his insane rantings against Gypsies, handicapped and blacks. He had spewed his initial venom against Jews and blacks in particular, saying they were a "serious biological threat to the purity of the German Aryan Master Race."
She was suddenly overtaken by a stunning burst of pleasure. His thrusts were igniting a second orgasm within her body, and she moaned at the wonderful delight. Rudolph Weiss was certainly the man of her dreams.
Her yelps of pleasure excited him as well, triggering his own irrevocable climax that was both riveting and overflowing with waves of heart stopping ecstasy. He loved her more than words could say and they snuggled closer, peppering each other with furious kisses as the unfolding bliss rocked both their bodies.
He waited for a full five minutes before prying himself free, kissing her tenderly to show an afterglow of affection that might remain within her throughout the night. He was working the night shift and therefore would have to leave her side for at least ten hours.
"You couldn't call in sick?" she pleaded, wanting to savor his showering kisses and fingertips the whole night though.
Making love to her was even sweeter than he ever could have imagined it would be. He gazed at her with devotion and adoration. "As much as I would love to take the night off, you know I am a high ranking officer, and have many party workers under me."
She sat up suddenly, her whole body trembling. "You could resign. You don't have to work for the Nazi party. You have your Master's degree. You could teach at the high school or university or even-"
"Shhh," he whispered, placing a finger to her lips and a placating kiss to her forehead. "And just what would we live on? As things stand now, I make more than most men in Germany. And now that Hitler has been named Chancellor, he is bound to consolidate his power, and the Nationalist Socialist German Workers Party will be calling the shots. As one of its lieutenants, I will be able to build a wonderful life for us. There is talk of me becoming a captain soon, and of Hitler militarizing our party. That is quite a remarkable future for a young man like myself, and especially for a young couple like us. We will be married soon, and have children of our own."
Leah eyed him carefully. He was being naïve, and yet she had no choice but to assume he knew what he was talking about. The Nazi party of Germany had been elected to power in 1932 with only a third of the popular vote, and so many of Hitler's racist policies remained of none effect and totally unenforceable. Only now that he was chancellor, his powers would become etched in stone. He could no doubt find ways to do as he pleased, and that certainly would include persecuting both Jews and blacks.
Leah sighed at her predicament. Not only was she Jewish, but black as well. She cringed in her mind over what that might mean for the future of a newly married couple where the husband was a white Austrian and his wife a soon to be outlawed Jew and black. That was certainly to be classified as a union of good and evil, a contradiction of terms, and forbidden love at its worst. She sighed at the damnable proposition it afforded. Surely, if Hitler had his racist ways, her husband to be would be forced to abandon her or face persecution himself. Why could he not see that? Why was he believing the propaganda that a newly empowered Hitler would not be carrying out the putting down of a peoples he so desperately hated?

The collapse of German's economy, unlike other depression plagued countries, had not taken place over night. Most notable in underscoring the nation's economic woes, were the strict restrictions placed on it after its humiliating defeat in World War I. But that was then, and this was now. There was a new spirit of optimism sending vibes of positive electricity surging through the air of Germany. Hitler had promised to restore the nation's financial standing to the glory days of old, only this time, all Germans would participate in the new found wealth.
Rudolph Weiss savored the thoughts happily. He had been doing very well for himself as of late. He had large stock holdings in the automobile company Chemnitz, and owned a construction crew that held lucrative contracts that was busy paving newer, wider roads. He had been privy, like many party officers, to insider information about what the new Chancellor had been planning long before his appointment. Hitler's proclamation in 1932, was that the widening of all roads in Germany would now accommodate cars going both ways. This revival of industry had taken the nation by storm. Previously unemployed laborers were now working around the clock in road construction. The prosperous, innovative and ground breaking company Chemnitz was hiring thousands of workers in record numbers. The ambitious company was the amalgamation of four German automobile manufacturers, the forerunners of what would later be known as Audi, Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz.
Rudolph felt proud driving in his Rasmussen steam driven car. It was an amazing feat of engineering perpetrated by Danish founder Jorgen Rasmussen. Most of his fellow party officers didn't own a car yet, and Rudolph loved to hear the twinge of jealously in their voice each and every time he walked by and heard them say hello.
He pulled into a parking spot and hopped out of his car. A group of his friends and subordinates were waiting nervously for him.
"Rudolph."
"Meyer, Klaussin, Vagur, you look melancholy tonight. But it should be a night of celebration, no? Our hero is chancellor now."
Kurt Meyer put his arm around his shoulder as he walked with him to the steps of the hall.
"My dear Meyer, I have heard that you are one of those running against me for the office of Captain. May the best man win!"
"I am not running against you," Meyer retorted. "Neither are any of the other candidates. Your promotion is therefore guaranteed."
Rudolph smiled. His personal friendship with party Chairman Valdorf Schmidts had certainly scared off the competition.
"But, there is talk."
"Talk?"
"Yes, talk. I'm not sure how the rumor started, or how it could have spread so far, but it is doing the rounds here at the convention."
"Stop speaking in riddles, Kurt. Just spit out what you have to say."
Paul Klaussan, a fellow lieutenant, turned and stood directly in Rudolph's path, effectively blocking him. All the other dozen or so young men stopped as well.
"The talk is simply that you are dating a Jew. Actually they say you have her living with you at your home as we speak, not for long, mind you, but the rumor is she's been over the last few days and is now staying there. I of course didn't believe it, and yet, the rumors persist. A girl named Leah Cravitz."
"Is that what they say?" Rudolph blurted out, suddenly nervous and stalling for time.
"They say she is also black, although I don't believe that either," Paul continued. "You, a pure blooded Austrian, a blond and blue eyed member of the proud white Aryan race, pressing next to black flesh? So hard to believe!"
