"In our country, in every village at that time, the men were either firefighters or hunters or scouts. Because the parents were everything, the Little Firefighter section was set up here and they tried to keep it. But there were no girls at the time, so my photos are me and the wolves, me and the firefighters. The boys were fine, but often I was the only girl and the rest were boys. We tried to make a clubhouse in the fire station, but then it collapsed on its own. The boys got really pissed off with the first boy who left scouts to be a pioneer and fough with him badly."

"Exactly as you say when a person is young, just as a scout says he will never join a pioneer or youth union. Then later a friend of my father let the whole of Brandýs hear speeches from the spring of 1968 out of the window, which promised freedom. Then he disappeared. They just locked hum up. At the same time, there were secret scout fires and a few people got interrogated. My dad was one of them. They really took him, woke him up, and as he was brave, he returned completely broken. He said, 'Please don't be silly, they can really do anything.' And Kim really disappeared in prison at the time, he got divorced, it really hit him in the classic way. He was our friend. Our dad must have been scared. I have known since then that he was not so brave."
