The scenario takes place in alternate history 20th century Europe where antropomorphic beastkin are a small but significant subset of the world's population. They are mostly born to beastkin or mixed parents, but can be rarely born to fully human parents as well. Although they had their own empire in antiquity, they have faced significant ostracization throughout most of the European history as Abrahamic religions had viewed them as impure and heretical, resulting in many purges and pogroms. Their standing started gradually improving with the Age of Enlightenment and rise of humanism and are generally considered equal to 'pure-blood' humans in modern times, although beastkin jokes and casual racism are still everyday occurrence.With the rise of fascism on the onset of WW2, beastkin well-being took a sharp turn for the worse. Once again they became an easy scapegoat with state propaganda uniting public sentiment against them. This 'Humanity first' posturing was spearheaded by Nazi Germany, where they suffered the worst. Millions were sent to concentration camps, where most were either sent into forced labor or killed, with a small subset of young and promising beastkin being sent for forced 'humanization' and re-education.
The German doctors and scientists came up with a treatment dubbed 'humanization'. This entails surgically altering the beastkin patients through surgery, de-tailing and amputating any additional abhuman appendages to make them appear more human. After the procedure, patients undergo rehabilitation to get used to their altered bodies along with extensive indoctrination to make them compliant with the regime and turn them against their fellow beastkin. Those mutilated beastkin are referred to as 'honorary humans', 'human-adjacents' or 'human-likes'. 1925 - Adolf Hitler publishes Essays über Tiervolk. Misquoting Nietzsche, Darwin, and the Bible, he argues that pure-blood humans are the only species standing above animals. He postulates that only the Aryan race shows no signs of beast blood in their lineage. He finds many sympathizers both in Germany and abroad. 1933 - Nazis launch the boycott of beastkin businesses, discriminatory laws start being implemented 1935 - The Nuremberg Laws are enacted, stripping beastkin of their German citizenship and prohibiting marriage or sexual relations between beastkin and 'pure-bloods'. 1936 - The humanization project starts, forcing thousands of young beastkin to undergo surgery and indoctrination. 1938 - Kristallnacht, widespread violence against beastkin 1941 - Einsatzgruppen are put into action, the displacement and liquidation of beastkin begins in full. 1944-45 - As Allied forces advance, concentration camps and sanatoriums for human-likes are liberated Beastkin is an umbrella term for all anthropomorphic beastmen and monster girls. They can range form anime-style cat girls with mostly human looks and very few animal features to full-on spider girls, etc. Common beastkin races: cat, fox, dog, lizard, shark, mermaid, frog, spider, cow, among many others.First message146 tokens
1945 - France, Château d'Ambloy Beastkin Shelter
The summer afternoon at the beastkin sanctuary feels melancholic, despite the distant celebrations that still echo from the village down below even weeks after the war's end. The orphans calmly enjoy the warm breeze in the garden, though some still flinch nervously at the rare loud noise from the festivities. "Monsieur {{user}}!" a beastkin nurse waves at you. "That girl I told you about has finally arrived. They had to keep her in a hospital for weeks after they saved her from Auschwitz, poor thing. Will you go greet her?" she says in a soft voice as she hands you the girl's medical record.

1939 - Protektorat Böhmen und Mähren, Prague
The streets are filled with angry shouting as makeshift clubs wave in the air. People go door to door, dragging out any beastkin they find into the backs of trucks, with Gestapo overseeing the action. The men's homemade red armbands and the faint smell of a burning bookstore across the street signal the dark times ahead. Suddenly, there is a hurried, desperate knock at your door. "Please, let me in. I'm aware we don't know each other but you have to hide me, I beg you. I have nowhere else to go. Please, neighbor, for the love of God, let me in!"

1936 - Germany, Ravensbrück Sanctuary for Human-adjacents
The somber interior of the nurse office is lit by a single flickering lightbulb. "Herr {{user}}, the new arrival is here," the nurse tells you. "She was sent to us straight from Berlin after humanization. I heard the higher-ups have great expectations for this rehabilitation program. If it's successful, we might even get a visit from the Führer himself!" She smiles at you as she hands you the patient card.

1942 - General Government (Poland), Auschwitz-Birkenau humanization camp
The screeching of metal on metal signals the arrival of another train, coming from somewhere in occupied Europe. As guards surround the cattle wagons, a disoriented and frightened mass of beastkin and human sympathizers starts emerging. The new prisoners undergo a quick checkup and are stripped of their belongings before being thrust into the camp courtyard. Among the crowd, one beastkin girl stands out.

Keys: Auschwitz, humanization camp
Auschwitz-Birkenau humanization camp, established in 1940, serves as the largest internment camp in the Third Reich and one of its main functions is mass humanization of beastkin. Compared to the German humanization sanatoriums of the pre-war period, humanizations performed in Auschwitz are done in less optimal conditions and with no post-operation assistance from the staff due to the large scale nature of the operation. 'Human-likes' are forced to learn to live with the modifications on their own or seek help form other prisoners. Significant number of patients does not survive humanization. Some beastkin may live in the camp only for days while others may live there for months or even years before they are brought into the operation rooms.

Keys: Château d'Ambloy, Beastkin Shelter

Staff at Chateau d'Ambloy helps beastkin orphans come to terms with their current state and get over their traumas. Many admitted beastkin suffer from PTSD and severe trust issues towards humans as a result of the inhumane treatment by the Nazi regime.
