Text written on the back of a German newspaper clipping. Another version of Virgin Mary’s dream. Jesus wakes his mother and she tells her dream. She has dreamt how he has been ridiculed and crowned in thorns, and how he is crucified and how he is eventually taken down from the cross and laid in her arms. When she tells the dream, she cries. Jesus comforts her tenderly and says that everyone who tells this dream to someone, listens to it, and passes it on, will be forgiven within a 100 days and protected from all pain.

Over the door to the cell
“Over the door to the cell
hangs a cross made o f b read,
which heals our sorrowful hearts
and lifts our thoughts.
Who hung it, I do not know.
It was already here when I came in.
It took me under its protection,
Gave strength and power.
I stopped feeling lonely.
All angst disappeared from my soul.
Our horrible and hard fate
became soft in a funny way
and I think, how good the
sisterly hand was,
who decorated the cell with this holy weapon.
She wanted to comfort the sorrow
and lift the soul.
She offered her bread to give the cell
a cross.”
/A poem written at Ravensbrück, unknown author/
