"This was one of our youngest monasteries. It has been so for seven, eight sisters, maybe eleven. It was the first branch of Trnava. There had kindergarten and elementary school. So only Modra and surroundings. So there they establish the concentration monastery. The domestic sisters there were ten. And now there they brought us - 36. And as we arrived, so there was an Agent, "for novices there is no place." Novices here, have no place here , cannot fit. For they had already calculated how many people they bring here. But fortunately there is one of those domestic sisters said, "a place is found." And we were staying in school, in the Cabinet. Then they brought the whole community of Kosice, 40 sisters. From Bratislava most of the sisters went to Semerovce, but some came to the Modra. So we were really staying in those classes. One bed side by side. When we wanted to wash we could not, we each had a washbasin and that was it. Bed, in between tiny forehead, that we should sail separated."

"So we went to the chapel, where we prayed, sang, but those who came to us, those secret police, you know who it was, they were in. Our Superior told them to go out for something. And in mean time we went out as we locked the gate and from within barred it. We are in the chapel praying, singing. They have shouted "in the name of law, open to us!" And we still did not react. We just continue to pray and sing. What did they do? On the ground floor were bars, so they then cut the bars to one room. Thus they went inside. Thus we know that others have no choice but to really pack and go. It was from morning to afternoon"
