"We were waiting for it to fall on us, and we were lucky not to get hit. Well, then at four o´clock the lights went out. Yes, four hundred canons started firing, at four the lights went out, and water was cut off at four thirty. On May 21 two Czechs went out, as we figured it was suitable, we were already rather thirsty and hungry. So one of them offered to go with me to get water. He brought a bucket, me too, and then we went out on the street. In the street there used to be pumps, where water could be drained."

"That's what I saw, because where I got trained in the shop, beside there was the police station and the officers knew me, so once the officer saw me out of the windows, when I was walking down the street and he called: "Come on in!" So I came in, he went into the cabinet, pulled out a book, found the right page and said, "Here you can read, who reported you." That's why I could tell her, because I knew, she was like that. And her husband, he was really very good man, a village mayor and a farmer."
