"There were agitators in Pilišská Čaba and they promised them that they would be better than in Czechoslovakia. They could take all the property they had with them. My grandfather had specific horses and cows. They were given several wagons that relocated them. They still had to move somewhere. And those who had nothing and promised to get in Nová Vieska did not get anything. The locals moved to northern Czechia and the Sudetenland. The grandfather received a house and land in Nová Vieska and farmed there until 1951 - until the cooperatives arrived. Then they took it all from him. "

"As a little boy, I was everywhere, they knew me everywhere. The local Hungarians also loved me in the village. When it was a village party, they shouted that where you came from and what you took from us, and there were fights. The local Hungarians did not tolerate immigrant Slovaks because they expelled their families because of them - for example, a brother or sister. I remember that when there were harvest parties or annual meetings, they used to fight there. "

"Once I went from Štúrovo to Banská Bystrica and I had to go home for something. I had Tatra Lex then. I crossed the dirt road through Ňárad to Svodín. There was such a dirt road and I blow the horn to my friend. I didn't notice that there was a company volga. I walked over the hills and suddenly I watched - the volga behind me. In Svodín there is a turnoff to Ludince and Želiezovce, and there I stopped. I look under the hood, nothing stuck, I looked to see if I had a problem. They came there. Hello, Mr. Driver - inspection. Select the disc.´ The inspector wrote on STAZKA that the inspection then and then, even an hour, but he did not write there. So he was such an inspector that he overlooked it by going around the detour. Otherwise they were strict controls. "
