Oswald Is no provocateur,"
Tonic replied I'VE can do

REUSED BY SCREAM
l fell asleep. Between 3 and
4 o'clock in the morning a
hoarse scream reused every
one in Hall Eleven. Sounds
Of struggle came from the
inky blackness of the lower
sleeping platform. Then yells
again, hoarse and wild, yells
for help.
Somehow everybody knew
that the yells came from
GrauerS throat. No one rose
10 help him, not even Kronen-
berg. By the time the night
guards burst into the hall,
the yellS had subsidized into
spells of protracted moaning.
The electric lights blazed.
Grauer lay on the stone
floor, his face and chest spat-
tered with blood. Oswald was
not in sight. The guards
found him in the lavatory,
giggling to himself. He had
Slashed Grauer'S face and neck
with a pair Of scissors. such
as were used by the baSt

The rest of the night we all
stood lined up in the corridor,
our arms raised. clad in moth

a constant running and shout
ing OF the guards, and an in
quiry was on.
At 9 o'clock in the morning,
a detachment of GeStapo men
swOoped down on the prison
The II beSt-known Com
muniSts in Hall Eleven. Tonic
and l among them, were
transferred from the prison to
solitary cells in Concentration
Camp Fuhlsbuettel.
The whole prison was ran
sacked by the GeS apo.
Batches of prisoners from
other halls were sent away to
Oranienburg, to Buchenwalde,
to Dachau.
Again l lay in the house of
horrors. The days passed
with hooking slowneSs; and
the memory of life in Hall
Eleven was like the memory
of some distant, unattainable
paradise.
