In order for a single story line to emerge, each group needs to sketch an outline narrative of its era. So, in a comment attached to this post, please list the following:
- What year does your story begin? What year does it end?
- Specific location where your story-line begins and ends.
- Who is the central character? This is important because the other groups before and after you will have to link up somehow with your character. You must explain sex, family, ethnicity, religion, and social standing.
- A brief outline of your narrative, i.e. your story. Include the significant historical event that looms large in the life of your character(s).
NOTE: Please bear in mind that, ultimately, you will need to display a certain knowledge of the era by depicting historical authenticity.
European History 
Campbell, O’Shea, Villeneuve
While living happily and relatively prosperously under Communism in the Soviet Union, German immigrant Hans von Penkarl finds a Russian wife and has a daughter in 1950: Svetlana Hansovna Penkarl. Svetlana Hansovna is her father’s daughter and grows up a follower of his Communist ideology and Jewish faith. As a zealous young Communist, she lands a job as one of the youngest ever KGB agents at the age of 17. As she grows, however, she becomes acutely aware of the USSR’s state-sponsored antisemitism, and, despite her ties to Communism, determines that she must escape to a place where she can practice her religion openly. After she is caught trying to escape in the 1970 Dymshits–Kuznetsov hijacking attempt, the KGB leadership begins to see her as a potential threat and sends her on long-term assignment to the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia to undermine President Tito’s Non-Aligned Movement. However, she soon comes to embrace the Non-Aligned Movement, which she sees as capturing the true ideological heart of Communism that has been lost in the USSR. This, combined with Yugoslavia’s acceptance of Jews, leads to her decision to quit the KGB and sever all ties with the USSR in 1975, becoming a Yugoslavian. She lives happily in Yugoslavia until the early 90’s, when the country splinters along ethnic lines. Remembering how accepting the country was of her Jewish faith, she works throughout the Yugoslav Wars to promote tolerance of different religions and ethnicities, using the skills she learned during her time in the KGB. She meets with limited success, but is happy to see the wars end on any terms. She eventually settles in Belgrade, where she starts a foundation promoting ethnic tolerance in the Balkans in 2000.
