= are arrested and stripped of his clothes ... (Caught my attention as he has under his robe the pants ... but they do not take anything ... that we have spoken on many occasions in the forums of historical groups ... well as in this case ... the picture says it all) ...
= After being tortured ... (Open to try these methods of torture in future concentrations are interesting ... especially when one disappears from his watch) ...
= Y kill them smashed their heads in a press ... with the help of a Jew ... with tradition dictated ... and their souls up to heaven in the company of two angels ...
= A big snake was screwed to the Jew ... which asks God for forgiveness and that you forgive ...
