Hanging at Auschwitz

On the 5th of January, we were told to assemble in the square and two out of four of the girls who had helped to bring the powder for blowing up one of the crematoria were going to be hanged. These two girls, they were going to hang four of them, two for our benefit and two for the night shift. We had to stand and look at the hanging, if we weren't looking we were beaten, it was a terrible sight, a terrible sight, I had never seen a hanging, naturally.
