The Luckau prison was overcrowded.
-
There were three men in a solitary cell.
-
We were isolated. We only got out of the cell in our release time, for half an hour.
-
We had to keep distance to the others and were not allowed to talk.
-
There was one bed under the window, the other bed was tipped up on the wall
-
and the third man had to lie on the floor on mattresses.
-
We even had to relieve ourselves in the cell.
-
We had no work at first.
-
Later on, we were given some work. We had to untie and undo jute
-
from the threshing machines. There was always so much dirt in the cell.
-
Later on we had to put our prison clothes and shoes outside in the evenings,
-
because they were frightened that we would escape.
-
I received mail from my sister.
-
She reported about things and sent greetings from my parents, too – and wrote about scientific subjects quite often.
-
That animated discussions, because we were three men.
-
The other two were there because of ‘the sports case’, as well.
-
Later on I got permission to learn shorthand writing.
-
But for practicing we only had a slate.
-
On that of course shorthand – is quite an illusion.
-
But still I learned it.
