Personal Histories

And they said, "From now on you do not

answer by your name. Your name is your number." And the

delusion, the disappointment, the

discouragement that I felt, I felt like I was not

a human person anymore. They had

shaved our heads, and I felt so ashamed…I wanted the ground should open and I

should go in it.
