-
The last call was in a place called Kosana; that’s where all the illegals from Ljubljana went.
-
Again we had to know the code.
-
The landlord was the innkeeper at the Dolgan Inn.
-
I turned to him to say the code – "Matija sends me from Ljubljana." He responded – "Vremscica."
-
At the time I didn’t know what Vremscica was. After WWII, I became a mountaineer and hiked up Vremscica many times.
-
It’s a beautiful mountain with a gorgeous view.
-
I came to the partisans relatively late. I’d been in hiding in Ljubljana for four months. I left in July 1944.
-
A very long journey ensued, of course.
-
Our ultimate destination was the village of Obcice pod Kolevskim Rogom.
-
You know what?
-
It was all unforgettably beautiful, just my leaving Ljubljana and going to liberated territory.
-
It was something incredible to me, to find myself suddenly surrounded by nature after four months of hiding in basements.
-
The journey through the Kolpa valley was extremely beautiful: first Cebranke and then Kolpa,
-
Which is when we left the liberated territory and headed into the Loska valley towards Bela krajina.
-
Additionally, I finally got to work on art work. I was also perfectly willing to join the brigade.
-
Although I don’t know how that might have worked out – considering my sensitivity to the thundering of explosions.
-
Probably not well at all. But at that point they weren’t taking females into the brigade anymore.
-
First, my role was to build the stage setting in the theater.
-
But there wasn’t enough to do, because there weren’t that many plays. So I suggested that they call me, on demand.
-
They did, when they were preparing the first showing of Raztrganci by Matej Bor.
