I knew nothing of these horrible facts. I didn’t know my husband was on his deathbed.
-
So, I was immensely happy.
-
With time I came to learn all of this and had to find some way to survive.
-
I was terribly poor and everything of my mother’s had burned down, the entire apartment.
-
She barely saved herself from the burning building.
-
It was the first night that she was staying in the apartment she got from the housing administration.
-
It was near the train station.
-
One night, or morning really,
-
a wagon filled with arms exploded.
-
My mother was left with nothing from what had been, before,
-
the quite comfortable lifestyle of an intellectual Ljubljana family.
-
I also had nothing. When my husband and I were demobilized, there was nothing left.
-
We were used to living modestly already during the war. But this wasn’t the main problem.
-
The main problem was that my father was gone, my husband was gone, and many of my friends were gone.
-
One had to survive. So I’ve gotten by for most of my life.
-
I’ve supported myself as an art teacher, initially in high schools and then, following the reorganization of the schooling system, in elementary schools.
-
Up to my retirement in 1969, when I finally found my true calling.

-
Later on, Vito, a partisan not yet 26 years old, came to the Technical Center.
-
Vito was an extremely talented painter, despite not being schooled.
