Quotes by Franz Hackl<br />

„We were very enthusiastic that we could participate in the so-called liberation by the<br />

Germans. We children were delighted and of course also shouted ‚Heil Hitler‘. But what<br />

happened then shut us up.“<br />

“Prisoners were forced to jump down from up here. The so-called parachutists, except they<br />

had no parachute. Of course, those was enjoyable to watch for the SS, but the prisoners<br />

knew that this would be their end.”<br />

„Those three years that I spent here during my apprenticeship made me realise that not<br />

those in here were the criminals, but those standing outside who bullied and beat to death<br />

those who had committed no crime.“<br />
