“I was very attached to my home. And it wasn’t just the house, it was the whole area. It wasn’t much different with Wilma. It is also dependent on Czechoslovakia. Well … but I’m not from home … [she corrects herself] I went to school in Prague and met my parents in a small town near Prague, where they waited for the time in which they were obtaining permission to immigrate to Canada. […] lived there with them, maybe 14 days or so.
The success was that my father was still riding back and forth on a motorcycle […] and always brought something with him. And mainly a duck. And we didn’t want to eat duck anymore. And one day he went home again and the border was already closed. The new frontier was there. "
