On 15 September my husband and |
|
I were invited to supper by my |
son-in-law and my daughter, |
WHERE CROSSES |
Christine Mattel. We arrived |
at their home, house 101, Mit- |
THE DIABONAL |
terstill at about 20:00. My |
son-in-law, Benno Mattel, told |
THE AXIS |
us that he expected Americans |
later in the evening. As soon |
THE RECTANGLE |
as they arrived at about 21:00 |
my husband, my daughter and I |
THE CIRCLE |
went to the neighboring room, |
where the |
THE FLESH |
children slept. |
|

|
At 21:45 exactly, my husband |
HOW DEEPLY |
said we have to leave soon for |
our home (house no. 31), be- |
THE TRIANGLE |
cause we have to arrive there at |
22:30. He wanted to smoke the |
THE KNIFE |
cigar which he had received the |
same evening from our son-in- |
THE SOCIETY |
law. He stated that he wanted |
to smoke it only partly and |
THE TRINITY |
outside the room in order not |
to bother the chilfren. |
THE LAST |
This was the first time |
he left |
|
the room. |

My husband was only outside for |
THE FIRST |
2-3 minutes, when we heard 3 |
shots. I was very much fright- |
THE SOUL |
ened but did not think that my |
husband could be |
THE ETERNAL |
involved in any way. |
|
|
|
Then the door to our room was |
THE HAND |
opened by my husband, who said |
"I was shot." Together with my |
THE WOMB |
daughter I laid him down on |
a mattress and started opening |
|
this clothes. My husband could |
still say the works "It's over" |
RESUR |
(es ist aus) and started losing |
consciousness. I only saw a wound |
E |
at the left side of the belly |
and at the |
RECTS |
stomach. |

I asked my daughter to do some- |
THE CROSS |
thing and suggested a cold band- |
age around the head; then I went |
THE LINES |
outside in order to get help. |
I saw the kitchen door open and |
THE BLADE |
my son-in-law standing inside |
with raised hands. Then I went |
THE BULLET |
upstairs to ask the people |
to fetch |
THE FINGERS |
a doctor. |
|
|
|
When I came downstairs, my hus- |
THE LIFE |
band was lying alone in the room |
with the children, he gave signs |
* |
of dying. My daughter was also |
in the kitchen by then |
|
with her hands raised up. |
|
|
|
Shortly later I asked an Ameri- |
ANTON WEBERN |
can for medical help; he answered |
that someone went already for |
JESUS CHRIST |
him. Then more Americans came |
and I was taken into the |
FATHER - SON |
kitchen and told to sit down. |
|
|
|
|
AND |
|
|
|
|
My husband was reconvalescent |
HOLY ... GHOST |
and weighed only about 110 lbs; |
he is about 5' 4" high. |
FROM GRAY GRAVE |
According to my belief |
it would be against his nature |
RIZE UPWARD |
to attach anybody, especially |
|
|
|
|
A SOLDIER! |
