00:00The most difficult moments were when we were led to the bathroom.
00:05Very rarely, only a few times.
00:08But we didn't know for sure that it was the bathroom.
00:12We stood naked under the showers,
00:15where the water was flowing for a while.
00:18And then we waited, looking into the showers,
00:23to see if there was water or just gas.
00:28We were very lucky that the water was still flowing.
00:32And we knew that if we went back to our barracks,
00:37we would still be alive.
