- 
We were just glad to get out of this cellar.
- 
Then we went, but not the way to where the church was,
- 
but up the mountains, a totally different direction.
- 
The oldest cousin was 14 years old and should carry a rifle, being really pleased about that.
- 
By then we knew: now we are going into war.
- 
There were men with us and because adults were with us, the fear went.
- 
We walked very, very far.
- 
There was a lot of snow.
- 
It was so hard that nothing sank in.
- 
It was very glittery, so it was a beautiful but cold night.
- 
During the first night we walked for at least three or four hours
- 
until we reached a bunker high up in the mountain.
- 
It was very cold in this bunker, but we were so tired that we were still glad we could lie down.
- 
Although there was only fern to lie on and a horse blanket to cover us up.
- 
I don’t know how long we lived in this bunker.
- 
It was cold and dark.
- 
There was not a lot to eat and we had to be quiet.
- 
Not being allowed to talk was very hard for me.
- 
I was such a lively and inquisitive child.
- 
There was nothing to play with either.
