"As soon as we got to the shelter they started to pour the bombs at us. It was terrible attack. When the shelter door re-opened a lot of dust came in. The spa center next to the hospital got hit seven times. The Gestapo building on the other side of the river was hit too. There were two bombs lying on the ground in front of the hospital. Other bombs lay in the garden behind the house, where the Culture Centre is now. People were bringing the injured ones into the shelter; it was awful. When we got up to my uncle´s apartment, all windows in his four - bedroom place were broken."

"They were in the middle of the digging when all of a sudden it was like something told them: ´Go away! ´. They made two steps when the whole ceiling fell down - huge rocks. It would have killed them all."

"He teacher gave her a great review. Everything seemed to be alright. But an hour later the director´s deputy came - she was also teaching there - and asked if there is still someone so ´undeveloped´ that attends the religious class and believes in God. My daughter and another girl rose. The very next day her teacher came to her and told her: ´ I´m sorry, Maria. Please read the review I wrote for you. I have to change it now, because of your confession yesterday. You won´t be allowed to the University. You have locked your door because you admitted that you attend the religious classes and that you believe in God. I have to rewrite the review and you can forget about going to the University.´"

"His problems remained even when he was already at home. Once he visited his friend in Písek town who got married and just had a baby son, so he invited my husband to the christening ceremony. There were few political prisoners too. Someone found about it and pointed at them. My husband was called to the StB and then frequent summons and searches have begun. When I got back from work everything was upside down, my husband was gone. They kept him at the StB office for the whole day. And this friend of my husband got arrested again."
