Tamo je doša „Malinarić Viktor“, „Ja sam“, e, sad sam ja na redu. Da. I, i on je bija, dvoje su bili, bija je on taj taj šef i bija je još i jedan dočasnik domobranski u uniformi. I kaže, ja sam bija, vani sam bija malo, nisam bija u svojoj sobi sam bija tamo na hodniku sam sta, vani sam, tako sam iša prošetat malo sa štakama. I mi kaže meni taj dočasnik domobranski „Di ti je soba?“, ja sam reka „Tu“. I kaže „Idemo u sobu“ i svi smo tri išli u sobu. Mi smo došli u sobu i… i ovaj, „Di ti je krevet?“, ja sam reka „To je moj krevet“ i tako. I onda on je reka, taj dočasnik je reka „Molim vas“, je reka, „tamo stav mirno“, kaže, „morate nas, morate nas napustiti“, je reka tom Ustašu. „Dobro“, reko, „more, more“. On je otiša ča.

Ja sam vidija da je, ja sam pitao kako zerman, od kud, ča. A jasno mi je reka, ja sam sin od Maruce. Maruca je sestra od moje mame. I, kažem, tu smo mi malo popričali i reka „Viktore… o tebi ćemo voditi računa, tebi ne može nijedna osoba doć. Vi ste“, reka „po strogoj kontroli SS Njemačkoj. Vama ne može ni jedan osoba“, reka, „doći“, je reka, „ja sam uspio jer sam u uniformi, ja sam uspio doći“, je reka, „ja ću doći opet.“

"...In the hospital where the Ustaša worked. When we were sleeping at night...a wounded man sleeps day and night if he can. And every night the ustaša patrol would come and they would enter the rooms, they did that before and they would look at the charts, ask our names to speak to you and they’d come to you and ask: “where were you wounded?”. He could read it but he asked anyway. “In the leg, in the ribs”, “Oh, I see.” And then you’d ask him, now what? And he would take his gun and poke you right in the wound.” 2: “Those were really wounds?” “ yes. And when they amputated my leg, I had a few kilograms of sand on my skin, I don’t know much about medicine, it was used to tighten the skin and this sand pulled on my skin, you understand?to the end of the bed, that was glued like that and he would pick it up, and when he picked it up it hurt so bad.” 2: “They knew when it would hurt?” “He did it on purpose. Ustaše did that kind of thing. And he didn’t answer to anyone, Who? Yes, that’s the truth, yes. I: How did Stanko end up? Do you know? No. I never knew, never. I don’t know how anybody ended up. I tried looking for them, my daughter helped but I can’t. Where is he, is he alive, where...I don’t know, I don’t know. I don’t know where he ended up or where the Italian ended up. I don’t know, I don’t know. Because you can’t know everyone in the entire camp, there are always people who are closer to you than others. And I was close to those two."
