At the end of World War 2, the commander of Belsen Concentration Camp fled across Europe and to America, always fearful of a lone camp inmate who threatened to find Reissman and make him pay for the atrocities that occurred in the camp during the war. His greatest fear is realized while riding a train and coming face to face with that inmate.

Script credit from "Tales of Terror!" by Fred von Bernewitz and Grant Geissman.

Marie Severin stated in a 1986 interview that Krigstein colored this story: http://www.tcj.com/an-interview-with-marie-severin/

This story was originally a 6-page one, but Krigstein felt that length was inadequate and wanted to expand it to 12 pages. Bill Gaines said no to that, but he eventually agreed (with Feldstein) on 8 pages. Krigstein was paid $43 per page for this story.

Some of the story told in flashback.
