  7. Dachau schedule for prisoners • “Three times a day, we were counted. We had to carry the dead to the square. Each time, we had to stand at attention in all kinds of weather. We stood wearing next to nothing, had weak bladders, while our tormentors had sheepskin coats and felt boots. The bastards really enjoyed watching us suffer. I remember how the guards had a good laugh when one of them "accidentally" let loose with a machine gun, killing about 30 prisoners.” • Start of by being awakened by the guards. you had to find your shoes and make the straw bed up in military style. Then you must wash up and rush to breakfast. • Then all the prisoners line up in a row for roll call. You are not allowed to move or talk. • The its off to work in the groups you were assigned to for the day. • After awhile a whistle will signal for lunch. • After lunch you will have to go back to work • The last whistle tells you its time to go back to camp.
