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.

Then we had to go into the cell.

There we had to get fully undressed and they searched us whether we had anything hidden.

I don’t know where you can hide anything if you don’t wear anything.

That was done by the Gestapo and it was another bitter experience.

You were not even a human being any more, not even as good as a fly.

Even them you let go occasionally so they can fly away.
