Elisabeth Fritzl chronicled her life in an Austrian cellar prison where her father kept her and the six children he fathered with her for 24 years by writing a diary on scraps of paper.
In moving passages, she wrote of the death of her seventh child, who turned blue and died in her arms. She wrote of the beatings, the rapes and the threats.
She also wrote of the wonderment of her children at everyday objects we would take for granted.
Her father, Josef Fritzl, 74, goes on trial in an Austrian court in less than a week. He faces a murder charge in the death of the seventh child, as well as slavery, rape and incest charges.

If ever there were an argument in favor of torture, this guy is it....cruel and unusual punishment is the only kind he deserves

There isn't even a place to go when this vile scum dies....Hell is too good for this monster.... I hope he dies a painful and slow death.
This poor woman will never have a normal life, nor will her children but at least she doesn't ever have to touch that disgusting bastard ever again.....hopefully his new "friends" in prison will do that for her...
