So nobody signed.

The “Lagerfuhrer”, the boss of all bosses,
-
was so furious one day that we were sanctioned to
-
– I will tell you this in German –
-
“Diese Leute morgen früh kein Brot”: no bread for three days.
-
The cold and the work
-
When we arrived there, the French asked us:
-
“Since you come from the outside, what do people say? How long will the war last?”.
-
We always thought we knew everything, and we told them it would only last one or two more months,
-
but they replied it would go on for another two years. They were right, the war went on for two more years.
-
There were women who had to work on the railroad with shovels and pickaxes.
-
Sometimes they were even pregnant, and trust me, that’s hard work.
-
They didn’t do a headcount at night,
-
to see who was back and who wasn’t, they didn’t care if ten of us had died during the day.
-
Similarly, they did not expect us to work too hard, but we had to be at work every day.
-
In my camp, after we woke up at five,
-
we were supposed to get up and leave with the others,
-
but after that there was no control on what we did during the day.
-
And in any case, there was nowhere we could go.
-
You were simply expected to be at work, even if you didn’t do anything all day.
