-
The ‘Obergerichtsrat’ (high grade judge) „Freißler“, had to go to Berlin and there he died.
-
It was said that he had been shot, or killed by a bomb.
-
Because of that we kept waiting until the war was over.
-
Once there was a message that we would be taken to Graz.
-
There they almost always shot most of the people who were delivered from Klagenfurt to Graz.
-
We were lucky again:
-
During the night they bombarded and destroyed the railway track and again we stayed in Klagenfurt.
-
We were eventually freed on the 6th.
-
Then the supervisor got us to the first floor where somebody was waiting;
-
and there I got my warrant of arrest,
-
my records and they wished us all the best and said that we were free.
-
But the war wasn’t over yet.
-
I was totally happy, went out of the door and shouted for joy with all my heart:
-
“I am free!” My cousin, who was picking me up, said:
-
“Shut up. The war is not over, yet.” She was right.
-
Even during the last two days SS marched a female partisan off, cross examined and shot her.
-
That is how it worked for many.
-
With that we were freed.
-
At home they were still living in fear.
-
Again and again there were reports: something else happened.
