For four long minutes, they were shooting at the crowd, which slowly changed

                   into a bloody lump of meat.
                   Then it got quiet.

                   Bernard Ferst pulled his gun, looking at the massacre. There were a few men left

                   who were still crawling around, gulping. Ferst took aim and shot until there was
                   no more movement in the mud pit.



                   From his room, Dieter could see through the binoculars, how big dark clouds of
                   smoke shot up against the sky, coloring it black. Even at this distance, he clearly

                   smelled a strange stench that spread across the area. The stench of meat burning.


                   Chapter 14


                   Former museum director and gallery owner, Uno Hinterglau, stared paralyzed at

                   the letter he just got handed. With the other hand he tried to put his shirt back in

                   place in his pants, while his suspenders were flapping down. He just slipped his
                   feet into his slippers, when it rang on the door.

                   The messenger, a young man in knee pants and brown shirt, stood in front of the
                   front door of the apartment on the 2nd floor of the Prenzlauer Allee.

                   While Uno approved the receipt of the message, he could not help smelling how

                   much the entryway, despite this early, ponged of cabbage. His stomach
                   complained, making him slightly nauseous. He stared at the courier with the

                   Nazi-uniform, standing in his doorway, fiddling with the papers.

                      "Sieg Heil and good day, Sir." The courier disappeared down the stairs.


                   Uno hurried up, closed the door and went back to the kitchen. A sense of

                   weakness and decay spread in his 55-year-old body. He felt tired and stared
                   down in the kitchen sink where he used to shave.

                   In the kitchen there was a folding table on the wall and a small cupboard where

                   there was room for kitchenware and porcelain, which his wife Trudie used
                   everyday. Around the table were two chairs of wood that were painted blue. It

                   was a small but good kitchen, which he used to say when Trudie whined.
