you couldn't know if one was with you or against you,
-
or it could be a weak guy, weakened by fear,
-
one who might run away and tell this and that if he got arrested ...

September 8th, 1943
-
-
In Yugoslavia we surrendered, we went to the pier,
-
they brought us there and we stayed there for two days and one night,
-
with no food, nothing, no arms, without knowing what to do or where to go.
-
Then a big boat passed by and the Yugoslavians used megaphones
-
to call them to come and get us,
-
they even shot at it to make the boat come to the beach.
-
We were more than 600 and we entered the boat just like all these Moroccans do today.
-
We went to sea through the Velebit which is what the place is called there.
-
We went into the villages with the megaphones but the Italian Army didn't want us, no-one would take us,
-
so we didn't know what to do.
-
They told us that the Germans were out there and that the land was mined because they didn't want night attacks,
-
so the Commander said to us we could go to Ancona and we all immediately agreed.
-
Then I fell asleep on a pile of ropes, starving, and when I woke up I saw Ancona on the coast.
-
We got off there and they brought us to an old factory that was full of people.
-
They put sergeants there as guards, and I was a sergeant, they wouldn't let anyone pass.
