"... He too was tortured...The SS then condemned him to death...Three prisoners in chains—and, among them, the little pipel, the sad-eyed angel...To hang a child in front of thousands of onlookers was not a small matter. All eyes were on the child. He was pale, almost calm, but he was biting his lips as he stood in the shadow of the gallows...In unison, the nooses were placed around their necks..."Where is merciful God, where is He?" someone behind me was asking. At the signal, the three chairs were tipped over. As for the rest of us, we were weeping...But the third rope was still moving: the child, too light, was still breathing...And so he remained for more than half an hour, lingering be-tween life and death, writhing before our eyes. And we were forced to look at him at close range"
