transcription:
Was there corporal punishment at school? Yes, there was, Patzen, they had the "Spanish", as we used to call it. The "Spanish" was a cane, a stick, with which he hit your fingers... or he hit the boys around the ears once in a while, with the cane, in such a way that they bled. They also hit our fingers a lot - you had to hold your hand like this and then they hit it. ..I never was caned but the boys often were. Always right here with the cane. Yes, that's how it was. We called it the "Spanish" and then they'd come and hit us.
