Ing. Jiří Malypetr

* 1940

  • I got a recommendation for further study, so I joined 14 years at a research institute as an assistant technician for 620 CZK. It was such a strange experience because I was out of childhood, which was somewhat laid back, suddenly found himself in the company of adults. All for me were older, although the youngest was 20 years old, but I was 14! In the morning I went to work and in 3 or 4 I came home from work. But I am not one such recollection: It was a chemical lab and led by such an elderly man smoking a pipe, which nevyndal from his mouth. He had prokousanou, burnt finger. But also had a predilection burning plum brandy. He brought her welcome, and I remember to this day how my tears. Until then, I'm up líznul beer. Finally, in spite of my system, but still managed to graduate. It was not easy. It was quite interesting. At the time I could not study high school, brother, he got to college. That's why I say, in spite of the regime. "Our relative Jiri Stransky, was in prison. That, fortunately, we do not. When I was at work a year, I got a recommendation to secondary school. I went to a technical college in Karlín fine mechanics. I went there four years to 59 years. I was a pretty good student. One classmate's just crawling. Our class was saying, 'If you do not learn, you're going to grind castings, because anything you do not know.' The result was that after graduation I went to umístěnku, was built next to the classmate and I edged castings. That's a paradox of life. In three months, I went to the army, where I was two and a quarter years. I did warehouseman, was riding a motorcycle, not a military career, I did not. After returning from the war, I worked in Meopta, then the ZPA, where I made the controller later in the design. Every year I asked for a recommendation to college, which I never received. In year 64 he told the director, who until being declined, 'Have you filed an application?' That was such an indication that something is happening. So I filed an application and I took evening classes. I studied mechanical engineering from the age of 24 to 30 then I still have some time in the ZPA has worked, then I moved to the Institute of Scientific and Technical Information, where I worked as a technician at a computer. I was there for 20 years, until No. 92.

  • This is my first memory of her father. At that time, it was almost four years. In Klobukách we had such a large hall in which the father walked. I do not know if he's just come down or it's my recollection, I said I did not want to because it was a different father, he was gaunt and very manicured. But the image of the incoming remember, and here begins my memory of the parents. What was locked up, I do not know it already was for the Germans. Was closed in Terezin and Brno, and came back. He was tried in Wroclaw. Was closed and uncle Stransky. He was in Auschwitz in connection with the Nazi campaign against falcons.

  • The war ended in a revolution uncle pulled his uniform, was at that time in Klobůkách. When I took over the landowner or the farm, the farm has been in our hands and it worked. And to work with great enthusiasm and a great joy. When I look at pictures from that time, when Professor Liskovec carrying a bag from the combine and different people out there smiling and giving grain to threshing. It was such a period, but it was tempered by the events around the process and hardened and what will be. Nobody knew what would happen. In the 46th, 47th year was a huge drought in which she came, fraternal assistance "from Russia, the former Soviet Union. It was said that it is a help, but it was for money. Then came the 48th year and it was not known how it will continue. They went to different stories as to what will and will nationalize what's largest acreage will be able to have the goods. Originally called 5O hectares, and 25 hectares that remain farmers, so that such things were happening that were converted land necessary for me, the minor. I had 25 ha of land, grandmother Lisovická, therefore Malypetrová had maybe 50 ha allocated, then everything was different, and nationalization was 100 percent. Although, as it turned out in 1987, completely failed. When they began at that time in Lisovicích dig telecommunications, asked us for permission entering the land. We have said that we have no land. It turned out that about 12 or 16 ha we included all the time without knowing it or received.
