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.
-
There where Katarina’s sons Michael Sluga, Karl Paulitsch and Franz Rotter.
-
Franz Rotter was a member of the German ‘Wehrmacht’;
-
so was Karl Sluga, who crossed over to the partisans.
-
Michael Sluga joined the partisans straight away instead of enlisting.
-
In 1943 it became dangerous. Katarina Sluga escaped to the partisans then.
-
My aunt was interested in culture and politics.
-
She soon started to organise meetings against Hitler and to attend other meetings.
-
Therefore she was politically suspicious.
-
So we all were in danger.
-
She was aware that something could happen.
