A survivor reenacts the treatment of prisoners in a torture chamber in the Breendonck concentration camp.
Original caption reads, "It is alleged that prisoners were made to stand facing the wall in the manner shown above and that
(a) wooden bullets were fired at them
(b) cold water and steam or boiling water was thrown at them.
No proof of this is forthcoming although there are many small marks on the wall. No cognizance has been taken of the above stories."
