"But these Jews were hiding. They were on the run and hid in the yard. Since there were a water-work and a pumping station, the water was pumped from the river, so there were such large pits and water channels and pipes, and as far as I know, they hid there. And they couldn't find them right away, my sister returned from of school before me, because she was younger and she had a shorter day, so she saw through the window as the officers aimed guns for her mother to tel; where the Jews were hiding. She stood by the youngest bed. What she could have said? Two stood by her, one was aiming at her and the other shouted. And that one, who was not aiming suddenly pulled aside his colleague's gun and said: "Are you blind or stupid? She has a child there, I presume you wouldn't shoot!" There were also Sona and Dudo, who was five, all of them at home. Of course, they found the Jews, and took them all away."

"These Jews, all from Nitra, who used to hide at our place, used to meet n secret during nights before. We had a wooden fence. Father took away two planks from it, they were lifted on such moulding and the Jews left through this opening, and not the front door. They left at night, I do not know where they were meeting. They received help there. Together, those, who had money were helping the poorer, but also some Nitran Christians. I recall some name of a person, who was in charge of this. Once they came home and that father said they met a friend, who cried he has not a cent to pay for his wife, who is hiding in the hospital in Trnava together with their daughter. She was two years old, and she caught the last wave of polio. After that, children were already receiving the vaccination. I don't know how much they had to pay, maybe 500 crowns and the man kept saying he should get caught since he doesn't know what to do. He asked whether they could send him to us. And my mother said, of course, when there's enough place for you. So he was also at our place."
