Text

Start: He locked me in the bedroom by turning the key. Because it was war, I could hear the Allied bombs coming in the night. And then under the bed I saw a large wooden utensil used to mix cake–wie sagt man–a rolling pin.

[... … …]

End: And I was sentenced to the Youth Prison in Tegel. Four years’ detention. And when they took me to the jail my mother was there. And we looked at each other in the eyes, and we knew that we were finally free from the monster.
