Living In Fear
It was said that in the 52-years of marriage to Josef, Rosemarie would endure endless beatings. She was so afraid of Josef that she never spoke about her internal suffering. In fact, she was so frightened by the viciousness of her husband, that she just withstood his brutality. She admitted later on that she was scared that if she mentioned something to one of her friends “she feared Fritzl would track her down and murder her if she ever tried to leave him.”
