“Try to look here” Say Mitchel and point to the house where Uno Hinter-

                   glaub probably lived.
                          "There are bullet holes if you look there are bullet holes all over" And he

                   continues.

                           “See the large crater on the corner where the wall is partially gone, it is
                   from tanks that have run in the street. when tanks have to turn around corners

                   in a city, they house the corners. The tanks the Allied forces have ridden with

                   here, during World War II have done everything to smash the city completely.
                   Katrin sets in motion slowly.

                          "Come on Mitch, let's see if we can get into the building through the back-
                   yard."

                   They go along the house wall with Katrin in front, until they stand outside an

                   iron lattice gate which stands halfway open hanging in just one of the four hinges
                   that are meant to hold it. They enter through the gate and enter a large backyard,

                   the yard is framed by residential properties. but abandoned. In the middle of the

                   yard there has once been a lawn but now just a large pilot site filled with junk,
                   pieces of clothing, plastic, metal rods, bicycle wrecks, old through wet, mouldy

                   furniture thrown on top of each other in a great unmanageable chaos.
                          "Look who lives there" Katrin says and discreetly points to a tent set up as

                   an extension of an old bicycle shed, in front of the tent the last embers from a

                   small fire are splashing.
                          “Scatters or gypsies” answers Mitchel.

                          At the same time, an elderly woman limping out of the tent, dressed in a

                   dirty top hat that partially hides the sunken toothless face, A pair of strident
                   hairs tucked under the hat over the ravaged face makes it impossible to judge

                   dirty blouses around her legs, she has a large skirt of some stiff material which

                   back of the house facade and says in an almost inaudible voice.
