Everybody knew she was involved in the Resistance, so she was afraid to come back and be arrested.

That’s why we went home as soon as the war was over, and that was it for us.
-
We stopped moving around and immediately got back to work at home.
-
Then in May we went to work together in the rice-fields in Piedmont, and by the end of the year she got married.

Maybe I did have a card, you see, but I don’t know anymore.

Brother deserts from the army
-
Then it was September of 1944 when I went to Como.
-
I left for Milan by foot with a friend. We made it to Piacenza on the first day, then to Milan the day after.
-
We were going to visit my brother, since we didn’t have any news about him anymore.
-
Mail wasn’t delivered to Marola anymore, although at times when I went to Reggio for my tasks I would take care of it.
-
My parents said that it was too far, but we left Marola and arrived in Milan in two days.
-
From there we took the train to Como.

In Como a man asked us where we were going,

and we replied that we were going to visit our brothers since they hadn’t sent any news for a long time.
-
We were also going to tell them that they had to run away,
-
because the Germans were sending all sorts of people who were caught during roundups to Germany, especially young men, as well as the Jews.
