    „Gestapo was in there. They locked me and beat me up. The second day they opened the cell and there was a gestapo man who knew my mother and me too. So they let go of the beating and put me elsewhere, they apologized and I got proper food.“

    „We had to march on foot as there was no public transport back then. Everything, including roads, was destroyed. There was no transportation, the water was not flowing, the gas was no available, terrible – well, just after war. So I got there in ten days. My grandma lived there, and my aunt as well who lived in Berlin. As Berlin was bombed by Americans, she went to live straight to Freiberg. So I got there and they rejoiced over me. And they asked where mum was. I replied: ‚I lost mum, and don’t know where she is.‘“

    „They knew I went to Czech school, those German kids. And there were children of the gestapo men. Every day they waited for me after the lessons in front of school and bullied me. They wrote ‚Czech swine‘ on a label and stuck it on to my back, they´d beat me up a bit and so on. So you probably know how I felt. They said: ‚If you tell mum anything, we´ll shoot you‘, and showed me a pistol.“

He moved to Prague at the age of nine with his mother going to her new husband. There he went to a Czech elementary school, after his stepfather died, he was forced together with his mother to give up Czech citizenship and Karel attended the Hitlerjugend.
