We could stay around the house during the day

and at night she locked us into the cellar and went home.
-
She left two of her children, because they were bigger and took the youngest one with her.
-
So there were the two of us and the cousin.
-
We slept in the cellar.
-
It was an earth cellar, in the rock
-
and it was very damp, cold and totally dark.
-
Everything was padded with hay and covers so nobody would hear us.
-
We weren’t allowed to cough or to go out to the loo.
-
We could always hear people walk around outside, but we didn’t know whether they were Gestapo or partisans.
-
It was very exiting but very dangerous.

I was not at home.
-
I was at the neighbour’s.
-
When the neighbour saw that the Gestapo went to our house,
-
she hid us in an outhouse and warned us:
-
“Please, don’t look out of the window and stay quiet.”
-
But us children, we didn’t understand that and didn’t keep quiet.
-
We kept looking out to see what was going on
-
until we saw that they were marching our family and relatives off.
