Chapter 2 words from the author's wife

In the Ravensbruck concentration camp, I learned from fellow prisoners that my husband, Julius Fucik, editor of the newspaper and magazine "Red Entitlement", died on August 2, 1943. Sentenced to death by a Nazi court in Berlin on the 15th. What was his later fate? The only answer to this question is the echo of the high walls around the concentration camp. After the defeat of Hitler's Germany in May 1945, some prisoners who were not tortured or massacred by the fascist gangs were liberated from prisons and concentration camps.I am also one of these liberated people. I have returned to my free country.I started looking for my husband.Like thousands of others, they have been searching for the husbands, wives, children, fathers and mothers captured by the German occupiers in the countless torture chambers scattered across the land.

I found out that Julius Fucik was executed in Berlin on September 8, 1943, two weeks after the verdict. I also learned that Julius Fucik wrote in Pankrates Prison.It was the prison guard, A. Kolinski, who gave him the opportunity to write. Kolinski brought the paper and pencil into the cell to give to my husband, and then took the handwritten notes one by one from the prison secretly. strip out. I found this caretaker.I gradually collected the manuscripts written by Julius Fucik in Pankrates Prison.These numbered manuscripts are kept in different places and in different hands; I have compiled them and present them to my readers.This is the last work of Julius Fucik.
