European Resistance Archive/European Resistance Archive (ERA)
-
I was questioned very harshly. They were accusing me.
-
I was denying, claiming that I had gone there only to get some eggs,
-
that a man had asked me for my ID card and I didn’t even know who he was.
-
This went on for two or three hours.
-
Then they said they were going to put me face to face with the man who had taken my ID card.
-
They brought this man inside, he was in plain clothes but all dressed up, wearing a tie.
-
I knew that partisans were tortured, and since he hadn’t been tortured…
-
So he began to tell what I had done, saying that my brother was a partisan and I had gone there to pick up a gun.
-
At that point I just lost the light of reason.
-
That was my luck, since I reacted in a very aggressive way:
-
“You’re a scoundrel, I went to pick up a gun?
-
When I got there you asked me for my ID card, you took note of my name,
-
and as you saw I lived in Reggio, you said you knew my brother…”
-
I had to say this, since my brother had already gone to the mountains, it could have saved me.
-
“You told me I had to bring a gun to him, but how could I say no to you?
-
You had a gun, I only had a basket of eggs in my hand”. I was very mean.
-
So he said I was right, and took back what he had stated.
-
They asked me to sign the minutes. I couldn’t tell what they wrote on it.
-
My cousin and I signed.
-
Then they told us we could go home, but they wanted to speak to us again the following morning.
