"Well, then we went home, and we went to see, I don't know what the idea was from that Auntie Gajdošova... We went there to the other creek near Prlov, the girl from Prlova was shot. There were, the Germans were leading them, we saw it in the daytime, how they, I don't know, the girl was from Prlov, those guys, I don't know where they were from, I can't remember. So they led them, and they had to dig a grave, and they shot them there. And we knew where it was, so as we went from that village, we went to see, so we found them, we saw them shot there, and I know the one guy had... they only threw a bit of dirt on them."

"Such a small cottage. There was no water, no electricity. For water, as it used to be in the old days, you used to go to a well and carry it in these little tubs or buckets. And it was hung up, it was what I would call, it was called dragonflies that were put here by the neck and at the end it had a, it was a wooden perch that had a chain on it, and there was a little hook at the end. And it was dipped into the well, and the water was taken up, and then it was hung on the dragonflies and hung by the neck, and that's how the water was carried into the cottage. And that was a distance of eighty metres or more. And it was in the meadows, and how many times when we went, carrying the water, even the kids had to do it, our feet slipped, we rolled, the buckets rolled up, the water flowed out, and we had to go back to get water again."
