table and the girl had to kneel.

She was beaten mercilessly with a cane.

It started at eight o'clock in the morning and

only ended at around one in the afternoon.

He ignored her begging and

her pleas for forgiveness.

He kept beating her.

It was a form of training for him.

I was beaten like that too once.

At the end the girl couldn't cope with it anymore

and she collapsed on the floor unconscious.

We took our friend on our

back and carried her home.

She had a severe head

injury and was bleeding.

The next day she wasn't in school anymore.

Since the teacher ordered us to get her

from home, we sought out her family.

We just heard she was dead.

The wound on her head had become infected.

When we watched this scene non of us

thought that was anything wrong with it.

Those were the camp's

rules and regulations.

That's why we thought that was absolutely normal that this

girl was punished so severely for five stolen grains.

Sometimes we laughed.

I didn't have any ambition so

Now he was asking my mother for advise.

If my brother were caught he'll be shot

because he left the factory

without permission.

My mother told him that

he mustn't stay with her.

"You must to hide in the mountains or flee

from the camp as quickly as possible."

I heard her said that.

When I overheard this conversation

I felt a little hurt.

My mother put a small portion of our daily

food rations back for emergencies

and on this day she cooked

the portion of rice for my brother.

I was hungry every day.

But she didn't give me any.

That's hurt me.

reported them to the teacher.

I ran to the teacher and said that I suspected that

my mother and my brother want to flee at night.

Before I told the teacher I

And also I wanted to be the
