"My dad, they were worse off. They lived in Moravia in Tovačov and my grandfather was a big farmer, he had a lot of land and everything. Well, yeah, but in those days, like, people were so fanatical or they were glad that something was or I don't know what it was. It just ended up that they took everything away from them. They loaded them on a wagon at night, put what they needed and took them here to Bohemia, so they had nothing. I don't know if they were still being watched, I don't know, but here in Nebrenice they were feeding the pigs, my grandmother and my grandfather. And then my dad and his brother worked on the state farm here in Přebor near Velke Popovice."

"They came to me when I was going to school, because I was doing my final exams in the evening, so I needed time off work. So I was going to work from six in the morning and at two-thirty three times a week I was still going to school until nine. And because I needed a study leave, they suggested I go. Well, I have a husband who said that if I went to the Communist Party he would divorce me. I said that, and that was that. I didn't have to."
