from the path he led me across the parl.

we entered n large gallery which was al
ready crowded with well dressed people.
The walls were covered with pictures

were hundreds Of paintings. There we're

and others quite small, for the most part

relating to the march Of prisoners into ST.

the attendant horrors Of the etapes, where
men and women, old and young, where the
habtual criminal and the tenderly nurtured
girl, condemned without trial by the ad-
ministrative process, were herded together
in loathsome garments without regard to-
dccency or health and with less care for
their preservation than would be bestowed
upon cattle, were shown in such vivid real
ity that one turned with 4 feeling Of sick
