If somebody told us to keep something to ourselves, we did.
-
We protected the partisans so much when we were kids;
-
they were our friends
-
and the Germans were our enemies.

Back to Carinthia
-
We went back over the mountain to Carinthia, when the snow was gone.
-
We got to a farmer’s where the cousin’s grandmother was.
-
The aunt asked the grandmother whether she could leave the youngest daughter there,
-
because she was very ill.
-
This woman said she could. The girl would die otherwise.
-
I thought: ‘Oh, she can stay and I have to go again; and it is so nice and warm here.’
-
We were so full and it was wonderful.
-
So I lay down on the bench and thought: ‘what could I do to be allowed to stay?’
-
I played being unconscious.
-
Whenever they picked me up I fell down again until the woman said:
-
“This one is so exhausted, you cannot take her either. Just let her stay here.”
-
That possibly saved my life.
-
When the aunt left she went to a bunker in Ojstra, in Carinthia, near Eisenkappl.
-
This bunker was betrayed and she was shot dead.
-
The others got away, but she didn’t.
