"They were some of you from that side, from the State Security or what, and I don't know what they were telling me there. All I know is that I've been watching where we're going. I didn't know the villages that much and we really went through some other villages for a long time, until we stopped at a villa finally. We got out there, we went up the first floor to a room where there was nothing but two chairs and a table, or perhaps a light, there was only a light bulb. So they wanted me there... they presented me with a document and they wanted me to sign it. Well, I didn't want to sign it, because they wanted me to sign something once before. We went to West Germany and I didn't sign it. That's when I went with Sparta and the Spartans said I was stupid, that I didn't sign it, that everyone signed it, so I should have signed it."

"I remember walking here to the main street, nowadays Palach´s, towards the place, and as I walked a short distance, our shield was already visible. And it just wasn't. Every semi-detached house had that attic, and I didn't see the gables. There was not even my grandparents, and there were really only ruins, and at the bottom there were still a buried my brother, dad, and mom. And the brother's wife, she got out, as I said, after the first bombing, such a hole was formed, so she climbed out of there and went to the neighbour's barracks, which was not ruined by chance. And then the second wave came, so they were still there, so people came here, acquaintances we knew. For example, a father's former apprentice came from Dolany, he just came to help."
