„I went to another visit with my mum. She liked my husband a lot and vice versa. But she could not imagine, what it is in the prison like. A prison guard came and asked: ‚You know how to behave? You are not allowed to kiss, if that happens, your visit will be ceased immediately.‘ Mum began to cry. I told her: ‚Mother, you cannot cry here.‘ Two members of inner guard brought my husband, as he could not walk. His forehead was only about four centimetres high, it was a terrible sight. Of course the whole time back home my mother cried and in the evening, but in the evening, she sat down and wrote him a letter: ‚Dear Tonny, you do not see yourself, but you look like a citizen of a different nationality.‘“

„I went to pick up the telegram and said to myself: He (husband) comes at night so he takes the last train or a bus. I stood at the square next to the pharmacy and next to me some guy. He held something wrapped up in papers and otherwise he was in a work uniform. He asked me: ‚Do you know if the bus to Bozkov has already left?‘ And I told him: ‚I has not, I am also waiting for it. And you´re the priest?‘ And he nodded. ‚And you´re going to Mírov, right? So do not worry, Martička is already waiting for you.‘ As he had a sister-in-law, who was going to see him in Mírov. She had two children and her husband died. My husband didn’t arrive by bus that night. So I went to have a look at the last train from Prague… I went to the platform and heard someone saying to my husband: ‚There is your Alenka.‘ It was one of the brothers Nadějový, who were also released and recognized me immediately, probably for my glasses. But I didn’t remember him anymore. I went to my husband and asked him: ‚Where did you even get the coat, dress and shoes? You went there wreathing just work uniform.‘ And he told me: ‚Yeah, there was a mobile shop and I had to buy this stuff.‘“
