ABSTRACT

The soldiers summoned me to go the same way in I as the other prisoners, but I refused. With the darkness came the cold, and when, later in the evening, a soldier appeared, accompanied by Bater, I complied with the latter’s invitation to join him in his cell. We went in silence along the corridor until Bater stopped in front of a massive door marked with the figure nine. A turnkey came and opened the door, and I was now one of the four prisoners confined by the Soviet in cell number nine of the Shinkish prison.
