"Now how was it with that house... Mother had the ideal half, because they built it during marriage together. Well and only the court decided that. He was first imprisoned, and it took a while, until the trial of course, and when the trial happened, then it concluded that a half was ideal. And so I went to the advocate I told him: 'Please explain to me, what will happen... How and what...' - 'If they are going to go by the law, then an ideal half is indivisible. That means, that one half is confiscated by the state, the other half - the national administration will be put on it.' The result was that they did it like that and mother had to pay rent for half the house and for using the agricultural buildings. Well and during that she was running things on her own property, which she had inherited from her parents."

"Coincidentally it was lucky, that he was getting on the train and someone from Domanín saw him or was there, was walking by. My dad apparently told him: 'Tell my family, that they are bringing me to Plzeň.' Well and now, when mother told me about it, then: 'Nothing can be done, I am going to Plzeň.' I came there and did not know where. I searched at the court, I search in Bory. Nothing anywhere. Well and later they told me: 'StB has an investigation building here, just like they had in Hradiště.' And so I went there and he really was there. I had to make things up, because if I were to say that in front of him... there sat an investigator there with us. I said: 'Dad, mom has the homestead now, you are gone and you have not made a sowing plan, we have no idea, what to do and how to do it.' Well and dad told us, for us to just hold out, well it ended with that. I looked for him for a second time, and so I found him, he was at a workplace or at a work command in the Škoda works. And so I went there, I had a visit, a permit. And how he had the prison outfit, there was 'NN' written on his back in white. And I asked him: 'What does it mean dad.' - 'You do not even want to know.' - 'Why not? I want to know.' And he told me: 'Return is discouraged.' [Návrat nežádoucí]"
