“This one is so exhausted, you cannot take her either. Just let her stay here.”

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.

At the end of January 1944
-
the aunt got us ready and dressed.
-
We asked: “Where are we going?”

The older ones already knew, but the little ones didn’t.

So we asked: “At night? Why are we going to church at night?

Why is there a church service at night tonight?”

The aunt answered: “Well, because there is. Let’s go.”

-
We were just glad to get out of this cellar.
