"When we surrendered our property to the police during the war, they did not care how many tents or other things we handed over. They just said: ´Put it over there to the corner.´ They wanted the flags."

"They met Smudek up there above Stráž, behind Vavřinec. He was destitute and terribly hungry. They asked him if they could bring him some food. They had a meeting arranged at Kočárek at four. In one place the road leads right by the forest there. They said they would come there at four. Just imagine that among those from the Kamzík troop there was the son of the police commander from Domažlice. Not the German police, but the police from Domažlice. This boy didn’t come. But Karel Kuneš Jr. and the other two boys came. They went to Kočárek and they brought him a briefcase full of food."

"I promised to Jirka Jána, who was the director of the museum, that when I retired, I would help him with cataloging the paintings in Jindřich museum. They had no inventory records at all, and anyone could have stolen anything there. I was taking the inventory for him, when the school inspector happened to come there and see me. He forbade it and ordered that I was not even to work there. But then the inspectors changed and the new inspector decided that I could not have any bad Scouting influence on children if I was working in the museum. And thus I was allowed to continue there."
