“In mid-September we left Bischofteinitz very early in the morning to see a cousin who was on an estate near Beroun. First of all, I argued with my mother about what to take and what not to take. She was for warm clothes, I was for books or photo albums. And then … - above all, I thought about the future of Czechoslovakia. But we had absolutely not expected … with Munich and what came after that. I was a bit ambivalent about whether I should have insisted that I could continue to go to high school or whether I would then come with my parents. I wasn’t afraid, as long as my father was alive. Not at all. It was something completely different, something completely new. We arrived at the cousin’s yard. At the same time, people from the rest of the border area came, so relatives. We were accommodated and fed and then there was all this tension, how the Sudeten crisis - the so-called Sudeten crisis - is solved. Until then the 29.-30. September came and Czechoslovakia was sacrificed to the alleged peace. "
