European Resistance Archive/European Resistance Archive (ERA)
-
We, the participants at these meetings, didn’t know each other, but we had codes.
-
You’d arrive with a code, introduce yourself to the owner of the apartment. Then he would respond with a code.
-
That way we knew we could trust each other. We even had code names for each other.
-
We expressed ourselves publicly with writing actions to instill courage in the population of the city and Slovenia.
-
We would write codes on walls advocating the LF. We would litter the city.
-
Sometimes it was completely strewn with papers advocating the LF.
-
Once, two of us, both members of the district committee of the LF in Siska –
-
it was Vida Janezic, who today is proclaimed a national hero, and I –
-
we both used a bucket and poured axle grease along the length of Celovska Street and covered it with LF inscriptions.
-
Another time we wrote all over Celovska Street, opposite the Union brewery.
-
But it snowed the next morning and covered over everything we wrote.
-
Another very important thing: demonstrations.
-
I don’t know if any other country in occupied Europe arranged demonstrations, or as many as were in Ljubljana.
-
First they were women’s demonstrations, demanding that the men be released from the internment camps.
-
These demonstrations were held in front of the train station,
-
and then in front of the military leadership and the administrational leadership of the occupier.
-
Eventually, in front of the Ljubljana diocese, as well. I was at all of these demonstrations.
-
More were held here in the cemetery, by the graves of the hostages.
-
It was the Italian occupiers who gunned down every LF movement. They shot so many innocent hostages.
-
Today it still is a small graveyard of those who fell as hostages.
