March 21, 1933: An elderly Jewish man has killed himself by opening the gas-tap in his apartment, apparently in despair of the rampant antisemitic agitation in Germany; the Grandauers take care of his surviving dog.

Baker Max Kreithmeier’s journeyman Toni, a staunch leftist, is imprisoned in the new established Dachau concentration camp.
