What did she tell you?
- We would all die tomorrow.

1:56:12
And that you know it too.
- She's crazy.

1:56:16
Nothing more than Gypsy superstition.
1:56:20
You don't believe it?
- Of course not.

1:56:25
She had a reason for telling me.
She said I must tell you all

1:56:29
that happened to me
when they shot my mother and father.

1:56:32
You've told me.
- No.

1:56:36
No, I didn't tell you what happened
when they herded us up the hill

1:56:40
and to the barber shop.
- I don't want to hear it.

1:56:43
Two men looked at me and one said,
1:56:45
"That's the daughter of the mayor."
1:56:49
The other said, "Commence with her."
They took me to the barber shop

1:56:53
and put me in the chair and held me.
1:56:58
In the mirror I could only see
my mother and my father

1:57:02
at the moment of the shooting.
1:57:05
My mother's words were in my head
like a scream that went on and on.

1:57:11
And I could fell a pain.
1:57:14
They were pulling at my hair
and cutting it off with a razor.

1:57:17
And then they put the braids
in my mouth...

1:57:21
and tied them around my neck
to make a gag.

1:57:25
Then they ran clippers across my head.
1:57:30
I commenced to cry, because until then
I'd been too frozen to feel anything.

1:57:37
In the mirror,
I could see the men laugh.

1:57:42
I couldn't look away from the horror
my face made with braids in my mouth.

1:57:53
When they took me out,
I stumbled over the dead barber.

1:57:57
They had shot him
because he belonged to a union.
