It was so dangerous they decided the aunt should go back to Carinthia.
-
Hidden in an earth cellar
-
We were quite desperate.
-
Then we remembered we still had another aunt nearby.
-
We would go there; it was aunty Amalija.
-
She had three children of her own, and her husband was still at home.
-
We stayed there. But the aunt had such a small flat.
-
So she went to our house, where she looked after the small animals
-
and us children because we had enough to eat at home.
-
But it was an area for partisans and there was always fighting.
-
It was dangerous at the house.
-
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.
