"At that time, the director stood up in front of the people and said that no event like this would happen, the museum would not join it in any way, she would take care of it. And no flag will be hanged. At that moment the driver got up and said: 'It's already hanging there.' That was a like stirring in the hornet's nest and there was immediately a great commotion, after which the door opened and the head of the husband of the director peeked in. He was a truck driver and was the chairman of the party branch in ČSAD Liberec. So, she strode towards the door, he was telling her something... and the transformation of a person was unbelievable. A totally broken person crept back, ended the whole meeting and left. Then we found out that he had come to tell her that he had just been removed from the position of chairman of the party organization."

"They actually drove under my windows. At night. This is such an interesting incident. About a fortnight ago I was woken up by a terrible noise, so I ran out to see if the Russians had already come here. Combine harvesters were driving below the windows on the road. It was a long line of harvesters going somewhere to harvest. And when the tanks started rumbling around midnight on the twenty-first, I woke up and thought to myself: 'Oh yeah, the combine harvesters are coming again.' And in the morning dad came and said: 'The Russians are here!' So, we were looking at it from the window and suddenly, my dad pulled me quickly. At that moment the shooting started. I then looked to see that about twenty centimeters from the window there was a shot through the plaster. There may have been centimeters missing and I didn't have to be. And the house down there was completely messed up. They weren't shooting at anyone, they were shooting around each other. They were scared when the shooting was heard, so they shot in all directions."
