"After all this work the year 1938 came as a cold shower. Munich and what came for it for a Czech teacher in the Sudetenland. It was impossible to stay here. Not only because he would not make a living there as a Czech, a Czech teacher, but also in terms of safety. Because the situation has worsened so much, thanks to Henlein, that some of the Germans have become very fanatical, and I remember that they broke the windows in our school and in the apartment, especially around October 28 it used to be very tense. Although the cohabitation was relatively quiet and viable, so it really became unbearable, and we ran overnight from day to day, so we ran, he managed to get a small truck, but what do you load for a family of five on a small truck... So we ran to his parents, to Závišice, where he was born. Well, but we moved there and I don't know, either next night or the next evening, but in a short time, in the evening, the radio was always listening. I can totally hear Hitler's yelling voice, it was terrible, his diction and all that. And so he again announced other territorial requirements, and the district of Nový Jičín fell into those territorial requirements, and the Závišice fell into that. So it was clear and it always worked: demands in the evening, reality in the morning. So not that in 14 days or a month. Just tomorrow."
