"I was with my grandmother in the field. Then someone came from the municipality and said I had to go tomorrow, as I'll go to Germany. But at that time no one believed it. With my grandparents I was like their own child. As the grandpa then came back home from the forest he was right in the community. My grandpa was also a bit more temperamental. He absolutely did not want to give me away. Quite understandably, o course, as I was only 14 years. Yes, and there he was in the community and then he had loud strips behind on the hump. Have him beaten. " "In Setzdorf?" " Yes, then he came and said. They want to pick you up tomorrow in the morning, but you're not going. We will not give you. They came. With a bulldog and followers. And my grandfather did nothing. We will not give the boy. He must not leave. Then he put the gun on his chest and said, "In an hour when I'm not finished, he'll shoot him." Then we cleared everything up in an hour. I sat on the crate. Fredy can still remember well. Every time he says, "I know exactly how you drove by." At the end of Niesnersberg, where you go right to Vápenná, to Setzdorf, I looked back again. Now I have to go ahead, but I will come back again."

"That was the so-called wild resettlement. There was also my grandma's aunt. She also came, she had lived in Gurschdorf. And as a child I was directly at the transport. Also when they passed by, I was there. The people at that time were gathered practically in a lime-kiln in Setzdorf. And I've been bringing food to my aunt across to a lime-kiln in Setzdorf every day. At the departure of the train I was right there, I've watched it happen. And they were open cattle trucks. People around had brought straw and sacks in so that they could sit around a bit. And open cattle trucks then sometimes passed through the entire Czech Republic. They are said to have been thrown with stones in Prague and many other places, they have passed through. We only heart such things."

"Yes, and as a child. Back then. We have also done many pranks. At the end of war a lot of Wehrmacht went through the village. For three days the soldiers were passing through here. There was ammunition, explosives, supplies and everything. And as children we handled a lot then. My grandfather once caught me, where I wanted to take a hand garnet. This was the only time I had been beaten. We've all been lucky to have survived all this. "
