It was a well-known fact that people who entered this building did not always leave it again . . . No one was in the room except Silberbauer. I got right to the point. "How much money do you want to free the people you arrested the other day?"

He replied, "I'm very sorry. I can't do anything to help you. An order just came down. I can't deal as freely as I would like to."
