-
And that’s the end of the story.
-
I got back in touch with my old contacts and began looking for a job.
-
I received many offers that I didn’t accept,
-
then I just went on with my new job, at Giglio,
-
Latterie Cooperative Riunite (the United Dairy Cooperative). I’ve worked there for thirty-six years.
-
Trying to stay alive
-
At that point I was determined to come back home,
-
I could not stand ending up like that anymore.
-
I ate just as bad as the others,
-
although my doctor tells me today that those two years in Germany
-
were good for my health and helped me to stay alive.
-
I didn’t do much, but I was never scared of not being able to make it home one day.
-
Only during the last three months did I let go:
-
I could not remember my family anymore,
-
it was as if that notion had vanished,
-
and it’s something I could not understand back then.
-
I was exhausted,
-
the food was terrible for all of us, but I did my best to survive even in those conditions.
-
Regarding my weight, you hear people say they were thirty-eight or forty kilos, but I never did weigh myself.
-
I might have weighed around fifty or fifty-five.
