Paul Schneider, a Rhineland Protestant pastor who was several times imprisoned for ridiculing the Nazis and collecting money for the Jews, was finally tortured to death in a cell from which he was made to watch the execution of prisoners outside. Each time a man was shot, Schneider's voice thundered over the parade ground: "I have seen this! And I will accuse you of murder before God's judgment seat...
