After
dark, there was no one on the streets. Doors were bolted, shutters latched, no
lights, and, no sign of life. Only fear stalked the night, a perfect place for
the Gestapo to carry out their evil deeds under the cover of darkness. On this
night murder and mayhem were on the agenda. Evil deeds were planned and would
be done. The darkness is a strange thing, like a cloak that conceals all things
under its protective veil. In the pitch black of night people will commit
crimes and atrocities they would never consider in the brightness of the day.
Evil cannot sustain itself in the light. The darkness sometimes opens the door to
the deepest inner recesses of a man’s self and releases the evil within.
