One of them just wanted to shoot us and burn the house down.
-
Another one said: “You shouldn’t do that.
-
The partisans have to be buried, everything cleaned.

-
And they did that.
-
The farmer buried the partisans and the farmer’s wife cleaned up, wiped the blood up.
-
It was hard for her to mop all that and she cried hard, kneeling in the blood.
-
My cousin and I were totally shattered.
-
The farmer’s wife said: “You stay indoors and don’t go outside.
-
Don’t you tell anybody what happened.” We didn’t.
-
If somebody told us to keep something to ourselves, we did.

-

-
because she was very ill.
-
This woman said she could. The girl would die otherwise.
