There were two people in 1941, coming to see him. I found out later they were important organizers in the partisans.
-
But I didn’t know why they came to see him. Then he just seemed to become a pacifist.
-
He helped everyone in trouble and who came to him.
-
But he didn’t much exert himself.
-
Not to the extent that I could say he was a member of the activists of the LF.
-
At home they didn’t let me work for the LF.
-
But I decided that I just had to proceed independently and according to my own set of ethics.

Decision to take part in the Resistance

I was terribly upset then that Ljubljana was occupied. I think the majority of Ljubljana residents were.
-
Ljubljana was actually on the border of the occupation zone.
-
The north of Ljubljana was occupied by the Germans,
-
and from the northern border of the city and southwards were the Italians …
-
not to mention the border of present-day Hungary.
-
The Hungarians had entered into the Rome-Berlin Axis and occupied Prekmurje.
-
Well, of course I knew what lay ahead of us.
-
I knew that Italian fascism just like German Nazism had it in their programs to basically liquidate the Slovenes.
-
For a while I knew nothing of any Liberation Front (LF), or maybe I only sensed that something was going on.
-
One day in early autumn I went up to the Ljubljana Castle and looked towards the German border of Ljubljana.
-
I saw huge amounts of smoke billowing up above the village of Rasica.
-
That village was situated on the German side. I don’t know how the news came in to Ljubljana.
