whatever was left over from the stalks of cabbage, which you couldn’t even chew.

That was our lunch.

In the evening it was coffee again.

In prison

I was in prison as well. There was a raid.

Somebody had said – that was at the end of October – we were having contacts.

Once there was one, she was imprisoned as well, she always said:

“If something happens, would you want to come with us?”

So I asked: “Well, what’s going on? Yes.” “You will see.“

Something was given away, allegedly.

There were two supervisors that had connection to the communists.

Two or three busses were supposed to come and pick us up later on.

That “game” was given away, and these two were taken

to the prison in ‘Völkermarkter Str.’ together with some others.

They didn’t search us, but everything else.

All the straw mattresses were torn open and everything searched.

Whatever we had with us was all piled up in a heap in the yard.

They did not find anything.

But as they were looking for evidence

we had to line up in the corridor, 1 meter apart from each other, facing the wall.
