European Resistance Archive/European Resistance Archive (ERA)
-
We protected the partisans so much when we were kids; they were our friends and the Germans were our enemies.
-
One said: »I´ll do some collecting.« We used the collected money for the ›Rote Hilfe‹ (political help organ).
-
You would deliberately throw a spanner in the works, as long as you could and as long as you could breathe.
-
Well, did I kill somebody... We did shoot, but then knowing if we killed them for sure is another story.
-
That’s what the partisan struggle was about. Fourteen months more or less, constantly: these actions, these deaths.
-
When you were taken to an investigation, when you could not walk any more, you were brought to the cell.
-
I went to a lady that I saw once in my life. It was my contact spot. She said to me: you can save a child.
-
They did not want us in sabotage, we were too young. Our scout authorities made it clear not to get us into sabotage.
-
There was no real future for us. But that made you stronger to go into the resistance and help wherever you could.
-
You are young people. Don’t fight with each other. Be collegial. Be friends because you don’t know what the tomorrow will be like.
-
The Resistance for me was just like going to university. I learned to feel confident throughout my whole life.
-
I remember Strozzi saying: »War has never brought anything good for the poor.«
-
What did we know about politics? With fascism, you could only read what they gave to you, and you didn’t even have the right to make comments.
-
I started to run as fast as I could. I was skinny then and 23 years old. The soldier took out his gun and started shooting at me.
-
I will join the partisans from Carpineti because i wanted the war to end.
-
It was the Italian occupiers who gunned down every liberation movement. They shot so many innocent hostages.
-
Killing, even in the name of great ideals, will ultimately come back to you later in form of a trauma.
-
The Tchetniks attacked us from behind and they massacred the Partisans, all from behind our line. We lost 700 men in one night and one day.
-
I could not share the responsibility to work with the ones that wanted to eliminate us.
-
Why then, do we kill each other? Why? Because the ones that decide to wage war are not the ones who fight it.
