greenery

After exiting the gentle slope surrounded by green plants, the street became noisy, with shiny cars speeding past on the asphalt road, and bicycles with ringing bells swaying their heads and wandering through it.

The street lamps lined up neatly on the sidewalk, and the lady in a long skirt holding a parasol held her husband's arm and walked leisurely and leisurely.The boys were holding rubber balls, leaning against the base of the red wall, going up and down, throwing them and bouncing back.

Under the shade of the trees in front of the small square, several small vendors gathered. As a port city, Hamburg can always see similar simple vendors selling gadgets from various countries.When Justin passed by, an old lady wearing a blue-green wool felt hat smiled kindly and sold Justin the flower-carved spoons in her box.

Today's weather was fine and the sun was particularly bright, so people all left their houses to bathe in the warm afternoon.

Sometimes Justin likes the tranquility, and sometimes he likes the daily scenes, where people live together in a friendly and peaceful way, chatting, playing and doing business.His mind gradually calmed down, which made him feel a little better.

The sun was slanting, and Justin wanted to rest his feet and have another cigarette.

Beside the road, in front of a street shop selling home appliances, a few idlers were either squatting or leaning on the railings. They were eating cigarettes, dusting the ground with a lot of soot, and their eyes were all on the opposite transparent window. Stacked with a new thing that has just become popular - TV sets.On a narrow slightly convex glass screen, the black and white images came alive frame by frame.

This is equivalent to a free open-air "cinema", and the men watched it with gusto.

Justin approached, lit a cigarette, and stood aside.

The man beside him looked him up and down, and saw that he was well-dressed, which didn't match the slightly messy street.

The man smiled, moved a little bit, and signaled Justin that if he was interested, he might as well take a closer look.

Justin was leaning on the railing. Through the window, although he couldn't hear the sound from the TV, it was not difficult to see from the screen that it was the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games held a few days ago.

At the Berlin conference venue where Germany is held in a huge momentum, anti-swastika flags are hung layer upon layer in the most eye-catching place. The expression of the German head of state is quite contagious and provocative. All the German people suddenly stood up in unison, their bodies straightened, and the five fingers of their right hands stretched straight ahead obliquely.

"Hitler!"

Through the uniform mouth movements of the people, Justin seemed to hear the slogan resounding through the sky at that moment.

At this time, the person next to him patted Justin on the shoulder.

The man rubbed his fingers and said that he wanted to try Justin's cigarettes, which smelled of good quality.

Justin gave him the whole pack of cigarettes, then turned and left.

Justin could not identify with or like the current political party in power in Germany or its leaders.

Twenty years ago, the war that almost swept the world cost tens of millions of lives, which reminded people to reflect on the importance of peace carefully.The multi-country contract signed thus hopes to resolve disputes and avoid wars through consultation and mutual restraint. Under the expansion of international trade, most politicians agree that no country can be isolated, and countries that are friendly, respect and respect each other Relations with countries are particularly important.

As a defeated country, Germany initially signed the "Treaty of Versailles" and joined the League of Nations at the same time, wishing to follow the spirit of the League of Nations.But when the Nazi Party came to power, the country suddenly changed into another posture overnight.

The Nazis immediately carried out anti-communism, anti-bourgeoisism, advocating nationalism, and hatred of Jews, as they advocated during their election campaign... Afterwards, Hitler blatantly tore up the "Treaty of Versailles" and stopped paying war reparations, saying that Germany Nor will it rest on its laurels in terms of armaments.

In March of this year, German troops entered the Rhineland Demilitarized Zone.The giants of the League of Nations were in an uproar, and Germany's tough attitude made people worry that the world war would repeat itself again.

For Justin, the most difficult thing for him to accept is that the Nazi Party persecuted homosexuals.They successfully blackmailed a group of people, and also successfully castrated a group of people.And like Wolfgang, still imprisoned in prison, enduring the inhuman "correction" method invented by the Nazis.

Wolfgang's sentence was five years long, and as far as Justin learned from the freed gays, the wardens were sadistic and merciless.

Legally speaking, homosexual prisoners did "break" the criminal law, but they did not harm anyone.The sad thing is that many times, people will suffer just because of a "label".

In the following month, Mrs. Fred called. On the other side of the phone, she straight to the point said that she did some research on the new commander of the Mahausen Concentration Camp—Michel Martin Bedjolz, and got some good news.

Michelle graduated from the Military University of Munich. She was in the same school as Mrs. Fred's younger brother Rubens, but they were of different grades. The two knew each other well. Michelle respected and trusted her senior, so she readily accepted Mrs. Fred's invitation.

Michel, a young officer who had just arrived and had no acquaintances in Hamburg, was very grateful for Mrs. Fred's hospitality.At the dinner table, Michelle talked about how excellent Rubens was, and repeatedly broke previous records during school, and his admiration was beyond words.

Later, Mrs. Fred mentioned Wolfgang, and Michelle suppressed her smile. He thought for a while, and then raised the corner of his mouth again, saying that he understood.

Within a week, Michelle called back and said she wanted to speak to Mrs. Fred in person.

The location is still at the Winfeetham Dorsett Hotel run by the Fred family.

After being seated, Michelle said, "Mr. Insel is your cousin?"

"Yes."

"Wolfgang Johann Insel."

"Yep."

"I checked several times to make sure there was no one with the same name. I thought I should tell you in person, so I asked you out. On August 170, 21, Wolff was indeed admitted to the Mahausen Concentration Camp. Gon John Insel, who violated Article [-] of the Penal Code, was assigned to the No. [-] barracks, and received correctional labor in the quarry from mid-August to January of the following year. On January [-]..."Dun Dun, Michel Er looked at Mrs. Fred, and then turned his gaze away. He said, "Wolfgang suffered a heart attack during the movement of the stone, and died after the rescue failed."

After a while, Mrs. Fred didn't react at all.

"The body was then sent to the incinerator for cremation. I'm sorry, but it's the truth. My condolences."

Leaning back on the seat, Mrs. Fred's eyes were hot.

"It's just that there is one doubtful point here. If a prisoner dies while serving his sentence, according to the regulations, the death news must be communicated to his relatives, but after so long, you don't even know about it. Afterwards, I will arrange for someone to write an official obituary .”

Michelle took off her hat and said goodbye. After walking out of the box, she was suppressed by a figure at the door.

"Justin!"

Mrs. Fred covered her mouth.

"A few minutes, just a few minutes of delay!"

Justin took out a photo, and Michelle saw his hands trembling slightly.

"Confirm, is it him?"

Michelle was still a little shocked, he looked at Mrs. Fred, then at the man in front of him, straightened the skirt, and took it.

Looking closer to the light source, Michelle looked up and said, "That's right. A very beautiful person, it's a pity."
