"We were there in that apartment, we were in the fifth grade, we came home from school and found out that Láďa was not there, that the apartment had been searched and that he had been arrested. As they used to do. He just wasn't there anymore. But we stayed there with my mother, and because at that time it happened that he was already retired, the year before he had retired, so it was actually no longer an officer's apartment, but simply a person's apartment. So he should have moved out of Pilsen, if possible to the borderlands. We had such a household already without him. Mum arranged because we didn't know it would take so long, and he ended up getting the death penalty. A group of people who worked in the resistance during the war got together. They didn't get together, they knew each other, they were friends, comrades, classmates, and they just found it, so they put them together artificially. They made them an anti-state group and they had no idea. Our mother only said, then she told us that when she came back: 'I said to Láďa: Come on, this guy, if he's actually a Western intelligence agent, then I'll eat my slippers, because it's not true, he's set on us at. All of them are.'' In the end, it turned out with absolute certainty that he was placed there, because when there was a trial, he was sitting there among the judges. So he confirmed it to them. That's just how it was done.''
