That was where the partisans were staying,
-
they were waiting to get in touch with the commanders up there.
-
We were quite a few, though: when we started there were 45 of us
-
and to the time we arrived at the Villa Minozzo
-
and at some other village in the province of Modena, I can't remember the name now,
-
there were seven more partisans.
-
All together, we had only nine rifles and one hunting rifle ... for 45 persons ... crazy.
-
We had to be very careful because we didn't know the people,
-
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.
