Chapter 2
A large amount of arguing and ranting swarmed Morgan's ears as he waddled into the building with his hurt leg. In the court sat many people who, all seemed to dis-like the penguin-like man. They glared and shook their heads in his presence as he was escorted down towards his seat. He sat beside a man who he seemed to recognise. The man beside him was Joseph Goldmann, another Jew from Morgan's town of Nuremburg. He leaned over to the man in shackles and whispered, "Excuse me. Do I know you?" The man turned his head and smiled, "Mo, it's me, Jo!" Morgan was still very confused. "What is ha-" Joseph shushed him. The Judge walked in. The people behind rose. After a short pause the people sat and stayed quiet. The judge's assistant stood and read from a sheet of paper, "Today's Oberste Gerichtshöfe des Bundes is about the four Jewish men who attempted to kill the führer, Adolf Hitler." Joseph sniggered and Morgan gasped quietly. The whole court broke out into a talking frenzy. BANG BANG BANG. The Judge banged his hammer onto the shiny wood table with great force, "Quiet!" The court went still again. "These men are here today as they were caught in the act or trying to kill Herr. Hitler. So, can general Ackerman please come to the stand." A large muscular soldier walked up next to the judge and spoke, "I was on guard at Lorenzkirche whilst Herr. Hitler was making a rally. Suddenly, a great bellow came from behind me. That was when I saw the four Jews running towards the fuhrer with the look of a death ridden killer in their eyes.. They carried knives and one of them held a gun." Joseph sniggered to himself, showing to the rest of the court how it was in fact he who held the gun. The judge saw this gesture and banged his hammer. "Excuse me?" Screamed judge Hecker. "You do realise that you have no lawyer! And gestures like that will not get you anywhere." The court set eyes Joseph. "You may keep going General." He nodded his head and retrieved notes from his table.
He returned to the stand and read aloud. "Before they reached the führer, me and two members of the SS ran forward and seized them. We the-" Joseph butted in. "You tried to kill us! Unfortunately he did kill Stefan and Goerg." Judge Hecker silenced him with the hammer clashing with the table. Ackerman carried on. "We then took them to a warehouse where we taught them a lesson about murdering. Yes, we hit them with polls and stuff, but the other two didn't get killed by us. They jumped out the window. We were on the top floor." Joseph jumped up, " you liar! Judge, your honour, he is lying!" Once again, the Judge banged his hammer and shouted, "one more outburst like that and you two are gone for good." Joseph sat and Morgan stayed quiet. "We shall now take the Jury's vote following that statement." The Judge announced. Morgan watched Joseph shaking his head. "You'll see, their all Nazis." Said Joseph. After quite a lot of conferring and discussion, a member of the Jury stood. "We find these two, Joseph Goldmann and Morgan Weinstein are guilty for attempted murder." Now jail was something that Morgan remembered and knew that was where he was going.
Morgan was once again thrown into a car, only this time with Joseph. The two were separated by a police officer and were handcuffed. This awkward journey made Morgan think of the things that the judge said. He kept thinking about this man, Hitler. Why would he want to kill him? Yes, he made a small racial slur earlier but that was about it. No person could possibly want to kill this man, but Morgan knew, he tried to. After a few moments of thinking a prison was in sight, it was placed just on the outskirts of Nuremburg, a place where Morgan had never been before. It was an old building, a filthy building. A building that was closed in with very few small bar covered windows. From here the driver could hear the screams from the prisoners getting tortured. The car drove into the jail grounds by going through a very large gate with lots of spikes and barbed wire on it, Morgan had a bad feeling about this place.
