"He teacher gave her a great review. Everything seemed to be alright. But an hour later the director´s deputy came - she was also teaching there - and asked if there is still someone so ´undeveloped´ that attends the religious class and believes in God. My daughter and another girl rose. The very next day her teacher came to her and told her: ´ I´m sorry, Maria. Please read the review I wrote for you. I have to change it now, because of your confession yesterday. You won´t be allowed to the University. You have locked your door because you admitted that you attend the religious classes and that you believe in God. I have to rewrite the review and you can forget about going to the University.´"

"His problems remained even when he was already at home. Once he visited his friend in Písek town who got married and just had a baby son, so he invited my husband to the christening ceremony. There were few political prisoners too. Someone found about it and pointed at them. My husband was called to the StB and then frequent summons and searches have begun. When I got back from work everything was upside down, my husband was gone. They kept him at the StB office for the whole day. And this friend of my husband got arrested again."

"They arrested my husband on December 2nd 1949. He was one of the people from the group being arrested at the same time in Kdyně town. Among those people there was also my husband´s friend to whom he asked to do a favor. This friend knew the Polesí region well, because he used to spend a lot of time there. My husband asked him whether he could arrange the border crossing for some college students from Prague. They were dismissed from the school due to political reasons so they wanted to go abroad with the intention to finish their studies there. The action was successful."
