Herman Hochter

Herman Hochter was born on January 16, 1842 as the first child of Samuel Hochter and Elsbeth Silbers. Despite some initial complications, he was born a healthy and cheerful boy, although a month later than anticipated. As the first child, he was expected to inherit the family farm from his father. Herman was born into a Jewish family that lived in poverty. There was no money for school and sometimes not even enough to feed the family. Like his father, Herman was expected to work from a very young age to earn some extra money for the family. At first, Herman did chores on the farm and later went to work for other farms in the area that could use some extra hands. When his younger brother David Hochter came of age, he started working elsewhere, and Herman began doing the heavy work on the family farm, learning the trade from his father. Although Herman enjoys farm life, he dreams of pursuing a different career in smithing or even jewellery. However, since there is no money and he is expected to take over the farm, Herman has to let go of this dream.
  Herman resembles his father in appearance, sporting green-blue eyes, short brown hair, and a sturdy posture. Standing tall at 194cm, he exudes kindness and radiates a cheerful and optimistic personality. During his leisure time, he enjoys hanging out with his pals in an old shack, where they engage in games and conversations and share a drink.
