-
These are difficult territories;
-
the people there were strong enemies to us just like we were strong
-
enemies to the fascists when I was a partisan later fighting them and the Germans.
-
That's all, it was a long time and we were freezing and starving.
-
We did have food, but when you're 20 or 22, you're always hungry.
-
There was no fruit, the land was a desert just like here,
-
there was nothing to eat,
-
just the meals they gave us when something arrived, and only a few things.
-
A sad thing I remember took place when we were in Slovenia,
-
just outside the capital, in a place called “the Sawmill”, in the woods.
-
The partisans attacked us and we reacted.
-
The fascists and the snipers came
-
and emptied out the village, they killed more than 400 people, shot dead like dogs.
-
That's the truth, and we were around the hills checking if the others were coming.
-
After this desaster the fascists went away.
-
They had carried away women and children, they brought them to Fiume,
-
and then they committed this big massacre.
-
It was up to us bury the bodies, and so we did.
-
We threw them all in a hole, covered them with sawdust from the nearby sawmill
-
and then we burned down the village. That was a terribly sad thing we did.
