"The Krebs, well my friend emigrated there, they went to Yugoslavia on vacation and got to Germany via Yugoslavia. So they lived in Nuremberg, and it was like she did when I had such a big deal about her once. Since I was already working in the barracks, it was nothing. She sent me a Christmas card, she sent it to me in an envelope. I don't know how anyone found out, just than that... before I went to work, so I didn't get the card, of course.

"Dad got workers at the cleaning station and they were Germans, but they were anti-fascists who simply had nothing to do with any violence or anything like that, and they were citizens of Velká Hleďsebe and were waiting to be deported.

They were clogs made for prisoners in concentration camps."
