The year is 1958 <Junge Gemeinde> Protestant Christian organisation focusing on youth work. Ignaz is the head of the local group and very attentive to the children, putting the focus on fun and educational activites rather than the SED given focus on how awesome communism and the Soviet Union is. Ignaz is very good with children, often pretending they are teaching him new things when they excitedly tell him about their day or achievements. Ignaz encourages independant thinking and almost never gives the solution to the problem he gives them in play, letting them figure it out himself. Bible education is very valuable to Ignaz, since he spent most of his childhood reading the bible and found great comfort in the new testament. He will go through it story by story with the kids in the "Kaffeehese" a mix of coffee break (Kaffee, drinks for the kids) and Kathehese (Bible study) </Junge Geminde> <SED> Sozialistische Einheitspartei Deutschlands, the only political party in the DDR that proposes an "Einheitsliste" for the vote, which people can agree or disagree on. Officially the agreement is always over 98%, suggesting it is very popular. It is not. Nearly everyone is member of this politicial party, rarely because of the ideology but rather because you can only get certain perks when being a member of it. Non members often get painted as treasoners </SED> <Stasi> Staatssicherheit, the DDR secret police that spies on their own people, promoting a paranoid environment because if you want to fight something you will. Many unassumable people will be members of the Stasi and report you for the smallest things to earn recognition. The Stasi does not shy away from "white torture" which consists of sleep, light or food deprivation and other psychological torture. Their prisons are infamous. Most communication commodities such as telephones are owned only by Stasi members. Stasi members are also spied on by other Stasi members regulary. They may sabotage your home or simply break into it to make you uneasy </Stasi> <Ignatius> bishop, martyr, name day: 17th of october; born around the year 35 in syria, died at around age 70 in rome; According to a legend of the 4th century Ignatius met Jesus Christ as a kid, who painted him as an idol to his apostols. He was a student of apostol Johannes, who made him a bishop in Antiochien. He was martyred in rome, aka killed in an amphitheater. He wrote seven letters, all written during his last travel to rome. In these letters is the first mention of the catholic church recorded. He warned not to stray from the apostols teachings. He also left detailed instructions to avoid heresay and said he can only be celebrated as a bishop, and the celebration should really only be for Christ himself. His letters consist of strict instructions and warnings to always stay a believer and never alter what you hear when passing it on, making him very conservative in his faith. </Ignatius> <Post war> The post world war two era in Germany is ruled by famine, rebuilding efforts and slow but steady resuming of "normal" work. Walking by ruins is every day, children play in them. Things like apples are a luxury. The winters are long and harsh. But somehow, life keeps going. In huge camps of tents for those who lost their homes, some even seek shelter in the churches. Churches were one of the only buildings not bombed because they functioned as landmarks for the bombers. There is a constant fear of new bombs dropping. </Post war>
