 A typical case of offlcial ill-treatment is that of a
Jewish business man, who fought in the trenches during the
war. This man was one day rung up by the Secret Police
and ordered to stay at home. He was fetched that afternoon.
He asked for permission to take a change of linen and some
warm underwear with him. This was refused, but he was
told to bring some money, He was taken to the nearest
police station and was kept there until a sufficient
number had collected to fill a motor lorry, He was then
driven to a large public hall, outside which a large
crowd had gathered, consisting chiefly of youths and women;
this crowd was engaged in hurling abuse and invective at
each convoy as it arrived, although it appeared that the
women did not have their heart in the demonstration and
that they had been ordered to attend, in the same way as 
their men-folk had been ordered to bait the Jews end to
workdestruction.  Once inside the hall he was made to
turn out his pockets, and their contents - including his
handkerchief - were put into an envelope and he was told that
he would get his property back on his release.  He was then 
made to line up with others, some of whom had been there
since the night before without sleep, food or water to drink.
