Miloš Hoznauer

“When I got transferred to the gymnasium Nad Štolou, the director First was there too for a punishment, who was getting in contact with West-German gymnasium in 1960s rather than with an East-German school. So that was an ideological fault and following 1968 he was transferred to the gymnasium and he wanted to get his reputation back and became a real monster. A certain colleague attempted to commit murder for the persecution. So for the first time in my life I became an informer. I went to ask at the regional committee of the communist party, if they knew what kind of a director they got there. Surprisingly they accepted me quite nicely, comrade secretary told me: ‚Well we know comrade First. If today the China people came here, tomorrow he has got slant eyes. But the party needs such people to fulfil its objectives, just temporarily using them to fulfil its goals.‘ That was a lovely formulation, that…”

“In Prague 4 about five hundred metres from my place of residence there was a gymnasium Na Vítězné pláni; the director was my friend, which whom I used to go to skiing courses in the mountains. He accepted me and I started working there. And again, it was interesting, that a comrade from the regional committee of the communist party claimed that there is no normalisation, when comrade Hoznauer teachers in the region‘. And a party threesome was established of comrades Vokoun, Škývara and Hacaperka. And she ordered to get me out of the school yet again. That means they talked to the director, who said: ‚When I accepted him, I shall not throw him out.‘ A party organisation was meant to decide whether I belong to the school, but they were sorry as my deceased wife also taught there and they were sorry for the orphans so didn’t dare, in respect of the deceased, so they went around it. The parent´s association was supposed to raise a protest that their children were taught by an enemy of normalisation. Same as it worked before in case of the professor Záhořová, to write down they didn’t want her in their school. As my wife worked there amongst them, they didn’t accept it this time. Regardless of the fact that within fourteen days comrade Vokoun drowned in a bath of his lover under strange circumstances, the other comrade didn’t survive his first heart attack at quite a young age. And comrade Hacaperka got arrested for economical delicts. All that within fourteen days! And there in the regional office they concluded I got an advocacy at higher instances, so I could finally work peacefully.”
