"On the day we were supposed to move, my brother got tonsilitis and had a high fever, so my mother asked them if we could postpone it for a few days. It wasn't possible. So she said she put some blankets in a wagon, and she wrapped my brother in that, and I just have this memory of it, quite an intense one, that we were standing in that room with my grandfather, and they were holding each other around the shoulders and crying. It was very strange to me, why were they crying, we were going to my grandmother's and uncle's and aunt's, I was looking forward to it, of course..."

"It was agreed that it would all be handed over, everything was written down, the living and dead inventory was handed over and valued, that they would reimburse us and that they would let my parents live there and that my dad and mom would work there as employees of the state farm and that my grandfather would have one room there for the rest of life. And it wasn't even a quarter of a year before they came, and not only did they not pay us anything, but they said we had to move out."
