I was such a lively and inquisitive child.
-
There was nothing to play with either.
-
There was nothing to talk about -
-
not even with the adults. Even they did not talk much.
-
I cannot remember what we had to eat, either.
-
I can remember a partisan brought a loaf of bread and a can of milk once.
-
We were so happy that we could at least eat properly.
-
But we only got a little piece and one or two mouths full of milk.
-
I was so disappointed. I thought:
-
‘Why does she give us so little all the time?’ We did not understand that she had to economize.
-
After a while she gave us some more and explained that she had to ration.
-
It was always dangerous to stay in one bunker for too long;
-
far away from the farmers, resulting in bad provisions.
-
So we went over a mountain into Yugoslavia.
-
That time we walked the whole night.
-
So long that I fell asleep walking.
-
When we were outside at night I always watched the stars.
-
That was the only amusement we had.
-
Here and there we were in a stable, that was nice.
-
It was warm in the stable and we were used to the smell.
