“When the Germans were there, the working squad, they just left, and they went there to watch the Czech gendarmes and Daddy managed to get caught there and there was a problem, because they were Czechs. They did not want to tell on him, but they were afraid that if dad said it, as it was already during the Heydrich dark times, so they would shoot them all, so they all risked keeping quiet, and they let him go. And after the war, I do not know, maybe the letters were here somewhere... or I saw them at my brother, where they were talking and thanking each other. Yeah, they were corresponding after the war, and they thanked each other that it was so moving that they had endured that none of them was actually shut up and shot.”

"At a time when it was close to August or when it was supposed to be August when they were supposed to come, all this one of our units had been raised and sent us to Mladý Boleslav. And they did so that the departments were not in their own place, so they could not resist, because it would fly with aircraft and spare works and with the people and that's all, everything else is here, stayed in Olomouc. Well, so we were experiencing the whole disaster there, we knew it was bad. But they were enterprising guys, they were arguing if they would not fly to Austria with those helicopters. And then it burst, everyone denied it, nobody admitted it, but someone just said it. So then there were all of us, because among us there were those who were not afraid of what they were openly reporting to the spring, or they were the first ones, so they were the first ones in the row that they were liquidating."
