Life flows slowly by in those backyards.
  Enclosed by walls from all sides , all you got was patch of sky.
    We also had a Boidem- that is attic- which was common and accessible
  by a ladder where you kept things no longer needed but parting from was
 unthinkable.
   Down in the Keiler , cellar, you kept wooden logs , potatoes , onions
   and ice for the next summer.
     There was also the place where the Hausmeister lived .
    We had one Olga who fraternized with the Rumanian geandarms and
     would point out the flats where the Jews lived,
     and they fired at the windows.
