He Only Wanted to Smell the Meat
In 1951 Josef Lešinger was sentenced to fourteen months of imprisonment for attempting to cross the border. He served part of his sentence in a prison camp called Ležnice. He remembers the horrific conditions that the political prisoners lived in there. They did not have enough food and were constantly humiliated and punished for everything: “With my own eyes I saw how they treated a man who took a bone in the kitchen and wanted to gnaw it off. There was not anything on the bone because it had been already gnawed off. But at least there was the scent. They caught him and put him in the pillory. It was summer, hot, and sunny. Since the morning he had to stand on the barrel with a placard saying what he had done. Then he fainted.”
