-
I don’t know what would have happened, if we – little children – would have stayed on our own.
-
The oldest one was six,
-
then three years, four years and I was five years old.
-
A cousin of mine had stayed at home.
-
She was suffering with a contagious infection, scabies.
-
The Gestapo saw that and did not take her. They were frightened of being infected.
-
She came to the neighbour’s.
-
The neighbour said that we could not stay with her, because she had five children of her own
-
and she was alone with them, as well.
-
They had taken the oldest daughter, the farmer girl and the farmer away.
-
On the day they arrested our family,
-
they arrested so many people that a horse stable near Eisenkappl was full.
-
They took them away in lorries
-
to Klagenfurt and from there to various concentration camps.
-
Even my godfather, the neighbour, did not come back.
-
He died in Dachau, but his daughter and the farmer girl came back.
-
They were the only ones who came back from the concentration camp.

Introduction; Family arrested
-
I was born in Remschenig near Eisenkappl into a Slovenian family;
-
at my aunt’s, really, where my mother was a farm maid.
