    “Less than three years later, two guys from the Kovošrot company arrived and they had all the tools they needed in briefcases which they carried under their arms. The greatest communist in the village, assisted by members of the SNB, led them to the place. They did not even ask where the owner was; fortunately father was not at home and thus he survived it. They destroyed the whole sawmill, just as it was, and they scrapped all the equipment and took it to a scrap yard. I say it again, they destroyed all of it, just as it was. There were no tiny toy machines, but large and robust equipment, and they broke them and took them to a scrap yard. They caused a great harm to our entire family.”

The property was destroyed and scrapped with the assistance from members of the SNB police.
