"Only at the end of the fence, if you have an idea of where the Mills on the river Ohře behind Terezín begin, if any of you know a little bit, the fence actually ended there in those places, so maybe it was not so strong or how, there were just cracks in it. Such cracks between the individual boards, and maybe also some holes from the knots or whatever it was. In short, I looked there curiously, wondering what kind of children there were, and I said, 'Mom, who is it? Why are they there?' And my mother took my hand, pulled me away quickly, and said, 'Be quiet, quiet, quiet and come on.' So, this is something I remember. I don't know how many times I've asked like that, probably not anymore. "

"My uncle met there by chance or looked for him intentionally, I don't know how it was, a Jewish doctor to whom he used to go to Prague for a treatment. And he asked my uncle if he would send some letters he had prepared, so my uncle, of course, he would not refuse his doctor. Neither did it occur to him that it would be dangerous in any way, even though it was already known at the time that, for cooperation with the Jews, it would be a concentration camp, at least, so my uncle sent it. Well, and it happened, after a while it came to light, I don't know how, whether those who were the addressees of those letters boasted about it, or what. It just came to light and my uncle was picked up by the Gestapo and he was imprisoned in a prison in Germany."
