„It wasn´t right what they did to Jews, what Hitler invented. One lady lived with us. Our relative called my dad to help somehow a jewish friend who was threatened to be persecuted by the Germans. My father agreed, so she came to the evangelical parish and lived with us. We called her ,Auntie´, although she wasn't our Auntie, she was a stranger. Then she went to some other family. When she came to our parish, in those times when the Jews were persecuted, she came with her six years old son. My father left the boy in one house in hamlet where the boy was safe during the persecution."

“Dad was threatened to arrest him in 1951. He found out that someone had told about him that he was preaching against the Communists, and in 1951 he quickly left Brezová to Bratislava. In the church he does not preach against the Communists, there are other things preaching and he preached what he believed was right. The Bible was the basis of learning for him."

“When the Russians came, the Germans had already left. Germans were with us at the parish. When the front came and the Germans left, we were looking forward to seeing them through the window running across the hill. Then the Russians settled down with us, we had a large yard, they cooked there.”
