The Dark Reality: A Day as an Executioner

Get a brief glance into the life of Franz Schmidt, a 16th-century executioner, through his diary, which reveals insights into his profession. Schmidt, known for his methodical record-keeping, details the fates of those he executed – thieves, murderers, and witches. In his own words, he confesses the burden of justice: 'I execute by law, yet bear each soul on my conscience.' From beheadings to hangings, Schmidt's diary sheds light on the grim sentences carried out. This short captures Schmidt's haunting legacy, one recorded with precision and, perhaps, a touch of sorrow.
