There was a girl, a girl whom I had befriended on the road earlier.
Her name was Satenig. I remember her very well. She was not too
strong. I saw her again in that basement. In the basement of the
school where they had thrown us. She was there. She had a little
bit of money and she gave it to me.
“Don’t let them take
me,” she said. “Don’t let them take me.”
They
would come around everyday and take whomever was dead or very
weak. She was not in good shape, she was very weak. I stood her
up and leaned on her. Held her up, so. They came. I was holding
her up, leaning her up against the wall. But they saw her and took
her… took her…
