The Light Sheath in the Darkness

A kind of cabaret was improvised. A few ordinary prisoners went to ee the cabret in spite of their fatigue, even though they missed their daily portion of food by going during the half hour lunch interval. In the evening, those who had fairly good positions in camp, the capos and the workers who did not have to leave camp on distant marches, assembled there. There were songs, poems, jokes, some with underlying satire regarding the camp. All were meant to help us forget. And they did help.
