"The neighbour worked for State Security, he lived in that house, and he said - tomorrow prepare your toothbrush, tomorrow I'll come for you, don't do anything stupid. And he came with a revolver. And since then my mother, his wife, hadn't seen him for several months. Nobody knew anything about him. Then he told us that he was actually arrested here at the District National Committee, at the ONV at that time, and then he was transferred to Jáchymov, where he spent a year cutting uranium and then worked in the machine shop, where he also partially lost his hearing. After a year, for so-called health reasons, he fell ill, so he was dismissed. It was a forced labour camp, and my mother was trying all the time to have him tried, because they didn't know on what grounds he was taken to that forced labour camp."

"The only period that they lived very hopefully, like many, was the post-war period. It was just over, the war was over, there was peace, and everybody felt like taking a breath. They had a lot of friends, friends who also owned various factories, businesses and so on here, so it was a happy few years. Then, of course, after that '48, those friends of theirs all lost everything. This was a small town, so those businessmen who were here, who had, for example, establishments or small factories, of course, lost it all, or were even closed down. So from that they suddenly realized, they realized that it was going in a different direction, a bad direction."
