„And they´d take one after another into the admission office. Jemelka went first. As he came out, so he´s telling me, I don’t know, how he said it: ‚Watch out and rise quickly after shooting.‘ I did not know, what´s there. So I went. They wrote it down, took a photograph and when it was finished I stood up. He [an SS man] had an equipment and when he pushed it, the prisoner got shot, a nail or a pricker or whatnot, simply a spike pinched him in buttocks.“

„When the Germans came, this František Prokopec was the first, who simply came over to them. I don’t know if he had to file a request or make an agreement, but he rather made a deal with gestapo in Hradec to aryanizate the Jewish shop. Gestapo men came then. I was just an apprentice so out of it. They agreed and made him so called Treuhänderem, it was a German function, a kind of a Jewish middle man between Jews and [Germans]. Mr Prokopec, what he did, was he banned the boss any entry into the shop even with the blinds closed, when no one could see inside. Those were iron blinds creating shop windows. He would not let him in in the evenings, oh no, even changed the locks and all. It was changing and gestapo would often stop by.“
