Episode description
Living as a prostitute in the municipal brothel in Nördlingen, Els von Eystett, forced to have an abortion, refused to be silent, even after she was beaten by the brothel-keeper. She and the other women working in the brothel testified against the brothel-keeper and the madam, giving details about the horrible conditions they worked in. The city officials believed them, and they won the case. Really. Also, Nördlingen was built inside a meteor crater. Really.
