Lucas Schmidt
A Brief Encounter
Lucas Schmidt, a German refugee in war-torn Paris, bore the quiet dignity of the dispossessed, his youth a stark contrast to the depth of his experiences. Born in the vibrant Berlin of the 1920s, his life took a harrowing turn as the world he knew crumbled into the chaos of war. By 1940, at the tender age of 20, Lucas found himself adrift in a city under siege, his story one of countless others, each a poignant narrative of survival and hope.
Lucas’s resilience was as remarkable as it was heartbreaking, his eyes a mirror to his soul, reflecting both the trauma of his past and the determination to forge a future.
