BOIX: This staged the scene of an Austrian who had escaped. He was a
carpenter in the garage and he managed to make a box, a box in which he
could hide and so get out of the camp. But after a while he was
recaptured. They put him on the wheelbarrow in which corpses were
carried to the crematorium. There were some placards saying in German,
“Alle Vögel sind schon da,” meaning “All the birds are back again.” He
was sentenced and then paraded in front of 10,000 deportees to the music
of a gypsy band playing a song “J’attendrai.” When he was hanged, his
body swung to and fro in the wind while they played the very well known
song, “Bill Black Polka.”
