"I'm eleven, my name is Hitler Killer. This is the fighting name they gave me in the bush. My real name is Abraham."
In Liberia they are 6,000 to be like him, lawless, pitiless armed teenagers.
Today Hitler-Abraham is a street-boy in Monrovia. Abraham tries to come back to the world after Hitler : playing soccer with friends, drawing in the sand on a beach, dandling a baby at his grand-mother's. "He is a good boy, he doesn't steal ! He wants to go to school" the old woman says.
Abraham's glance sometimes hardens, Hitler is back. But he hides out : the "civilians" fear these death children. So he keeps his secret.
