And now an ss man is here, spick-and -span, with a dog, a silver pistol, and a whip. And he is all of sixteen years old. On his list appears the name of every Jew in the ghetto....Teresa Katz' he calls--my mother....Now the ss man moves toward my mother. He raise his whip and, for no apparent reason at all, lashes out at her.

PLEASE WHAT IS THIS PASSAGE TALKING ABOUT?
