My late husband and I had the  

CATHOLIC

  intention of going back soon

to Vienna, where my husband was  

CALM

  to teach as professor of the

Music Academy. The Russians  

MYSTIC

  took or destroyed all our be-

longings.

On 15 September my husband and  

  I were invited to supper by my

son-in-law and my daughter,  

WHERE CROSSES

  Christine Mattel. We arrived

at their home, house 101, Mit-  

THE DIABONAL

  terstill at about 20:00. My

son-in-law, Benno Mattel, told  

THE AXIS

  us that he expected Americans

later in the evening. As soon  

THE RECTANGLE

  as they arrived at about 21:00

my husband, my daughter and I  

THE CIRCLE

  went to the neighboring room,

where the  

THE FLESH

  children slept.

At 21:45 exactly, my husband  

HOW DEEPLY

  said we have to leave soon for

our home (house no. 31), be- 

THE TRIANGLE

  cause we have to arrive there at

22:30.  He wanted to smoke the  

THE KNIFE

  cigar which he had received the

same evening from our son-in-  

THE SOCIETY

  law. He stated that he wanted

to smoke it only partly and  

THE TRINITY

  outside the room in order not

to bother the chilfren.  

THE LAST

  This was the first time

he left  

  the room.

My husband was only outside for  

THE FIRST

  2-3 minutes, when we heard 3

shots.  I was very much fright-  

THE SOUL

  ened but did not think that my

husband could be  

THE ETERNAL

  involved in any way.

Then the door to our room was  

THE HAND

  opened by my husband, who said

"I was shot." Together with my  

THE WOMB

  daughter I laid him down on

a mattress and started opening  

  this clothes. My husband could

still say the works "It's over"  

RESUR

  (es ist aus) and started losing

consciousness.  I only saw a wound  

E

  at the left side of the belly

and at the  

RECTS

  stomach.

I asked my daughter to do some-  

THE CROSS

  thing and suggested a cold band-

age around the head; then I went  

THE LINES

  outside in order to get help.

I saw the kitchen door open and 

THE BLADE

  my son-in-law standing inside

with raised hands.  Then I went  

THE BULLET

  upstairs to ask the people

to fetch  

THE FINGERS

  a doctor.

When I came downstairs, my hus-  

THE LIFE

  band was lying alone in the room

with the children, he gave signs  

*

  of dying. My daughter was also

in the kitchen by then  

  with her hands raised up.

Shortly later I asked an Ameri-  

ANTON WEBERN

  can for medical help; he answered

that someone went already for  

JESUS CHRIST

  him. Then more Americans came

and I was taken into the  

FATHER - SON

  kitchen and told to sit down.

AND

My husband was reconvalescent  

HOLY ... GHOST

  and weighed only about 110 lbs;

he is about 5' 4" high.  

FROM GRAY GRAVE

  According to my belief

it would be against his nature  

RIZE UPWARD

  to attach anybody, especially

A SOLDIER!
