“Oh God!” Dr. Kaltenbrunner laughed and covered his eyes with his hand. “He did not say that, did he really? You poor thing, no wonder you were so terrified when I walked in. I apologize for that idiot, he’s not too bright.”

He finished his cigarette and put his hand on my shoulder.

“Are you alright now?”

“Yes, Herr Gruppenführer.”

“You’re not shivering anymore.”

“No. Thank you for your jacket, Herr Gruppenführer.”

“You’re most certainly welcome, Frau Friedmann.” He looked at me a little longer and asked. “You’re not afraid of me, are you?”

For a second I didn’t know what to reply but then quickly regained my composure and smiled.

“No, Herr Gruppenführer. You’ve been very kind to me. Thank you for listening to my side of the story.”

He nodded and picked up my file from the table.

“So this leaves us only one thing to do: burn this pile of crap and forget it ever happened. What do you think?”

I couldn’t believe my ears. Was he going to let me go?

“Would it mean that… I’m free now?”

“Absolutely free, Frau Friedmann. And trust me, I wish we would have met in any other circumstances but these.”

“Me too, Herr Gruppenführer.”

“Good. Let’s go, I’ll give you a ride home. Your husband must be worried sick about you.”

“I don’t want to impose on you, Herr Gruppenführer…”

He made a dismissive movement with his hand and knocked on the door.

“It’s the least I can do for you after what these idiots put you through. Let’s go.”

I followed Dr. Kaltenbrunner out of the Gestapo catacombs. I still couldn’t believe that the man who was supposed to be my executor had just saved my life.
