My morbid curiosity asks what in the world did the daughter and her 3 children do in the cellar of that house all these years to keep from going totally bananas? Imagine being confined 24 hours a day every day for over 19 years without seeing daylight or anything else. I would hope that the man provided them with clothing and basic necessities. What did they do besides look at each other and speaking to each other....and speaking of what? What is there to discuss when you know of nothing outside of that cellar? Those kids and their mother would need major adjustments to cope with everything now that they're free. This man is an absolute monster.

He probably practiced torturing people in the SS.
