The unforgiving cold wind blew throughout Himmel Street, making way for the entrance to Frau Diller’s shop. Inside, you could see Frau Diller standing inside her shop with cold dead eyes, listening to the Nazi propaganda on her new radio. She began to hail along with the radio as she rearranged the newspaper display with the latest printing of Der Stürmer, her favorite newspaper of the week.
