"My mom actually kept it from me for quite a long time, I don't know why. I actually felt quite bad or just didn't like it that she didn't tell me outright. And we actually only came to an agreement after that when I wrote, without her knowledge, I wrote a letter to the President asking him to release my dad, and I don't remember exactly what I wrote in there, but this. So, they didn't answer me, but they answered my mom, and they also invited her somewhere, I don't remember exactly where, on the carpet, where she got scolded for not forcing her child to do things like that, but she really didn't know about it, so after that, I actually made a deal with my mom, or she knew that I knew my dad was locked up."

"When my dad got arrested, I was at my grandmother's house. And my uncle came to get me, which was weird enough, and when I got home, my mom wouldn't tell me. She told me my dad had gone away on a part-time job, some part-time job. Because actually, sometime after the war, I was born, I mean, in forty-three, the war ended in forty-five, and after the war my dad was employed, employed by an American company - and he worked in Germany for a while, maybe a year and a half, so he commuted home. And I guess my mother wanted to follow up on that, because that's what I was used to, and she told me that my dad was on a temporary job."
