"So one interesting building constructed in Belarus, in Gomel, when we built a brickyard, which was put into trial operation, but at that time there was an explosion in Chernobyl, which was about fifty kilometres far from the city of Gomel. So production actually began, but because the clay, or rather the fallout from this explosion, was on the clay, this factory never started and has remained dead to this day."

"Behind the Jewish cemetery, two cannons were parked for quite a long time. So with our skill - when we got or just here the elders who led us here, they got or found some patrons in that Svitava. And of course, the cannon was a cannon, so I managed these… I only took part in it, because I was small or rather smaller… so they managed to shoot it, which then the cannons were removed from Židenice, where they stood for quite a long time."
