Well, there were only few that weren’t with the partisans.
-
In the town there were more.
-
Bleiburg is a known town and Carinthia was a Nazi stronghold,
-
but the population outside was of different opinion.
-
There were only few and they did not report us to the police –
-
kept quiet and did not keep in touch with us.
-
But only about 10 % weren’t with us.
-
First contact with partisans
-
We had already heard in 1942 that partisans were staying in our area.
-
But the first contact was at Easter 1943
-
when the first partisans came and knocked at the door:
-
“Mother, open!
-
The partisans are here; the army of the Slovenian people.
-
We will destroy fascism and you will be free once more.”
-
Afterwards we had regular contact. We sang a song I will never forget.
-
There was a woman who had a harmonica.
-
We were friends straight away.
-
Afterwards we had to help them every day.
-
Into the forest, delivering food. In the evenings they came again.
-
That was the way the resistance was organised and kept getting stronger.
