When I’d come home my father would give me a beating.
 - 
I didn’t have the possibility to hide. I was getting ready to do so.
 - 
But I was arrested two or three weeks before I was about to leave and really go undercover.

Semi-clandestine activities 1939-41
 - 
The reason we distributed these leaflets was to alert the population and the workers in the factories.
 - 
We distributed leaflets in front of the factories and in different neighborhoods.
 - 
Often we would do that at night. But at night there were also police patrols.
 - 
So there would be two or three of us to distribute the leaflets and two or three to watch out for the police.
 - 
We had to be very careful.
 - 
We took many precautions: we’d hide the material to make the leaflets at someone’s place, the paper with somebody else.
 - 
We’d try to distribute them at night, to escape from the police.
 - 
But the police was there at night as well.
 - 
We also handed out leaflets at the gates of the factories, even though we were quite visible there.
 - 
We took precautions there as well. One of us would be on the look out for the police.
 - 
We’d leave around two or three o’clock in the morning to distribute the leaflets.
 - 
Sometimes we’d distribute them in front of the factory gates, even though that was very risky.
 - 
It was also difficult to produce the leaflets. It was good to distribute them, but they had to be made first!
 - 
So we tried to find friends that were not too well known and take the material there -
 - 
the mimeograph machine, and the typewriter and hide them in the basement.
 - 
We had to take precautions to protect these friends, but to be able to continue with our activities as well.
