“Citizens used to go there and guard every day yet before they began to take them. But in that time they had to know about it because Petrovič said to people to go home, to let it all be as it didn´t have a meaning to evoke any conflicts. And really, also according to the elaborated records there were two hundred state security members, including the soldiers, police, and militia. The village men didn´t want to let the priests be dragged away, so they used to go and guard them, but what could they do more? Those had automats, machine guns, rifles, and the like. And the people had only shovels, scythes, as Hussites back in times. You wouldn´t even believe what the people were willing to do. However, director of Salesians, Petrovič, kept a cool head and forestalled the bloodshed.”

“When they reported it, because I think that the boy said it at home and since his father held a function of the party chairman in Lednice, they probably went to report it together. The school director said that the whole school lined up there and the boy was awarded with a book Far from Moscow, and they had to say he bewrayed a dangerous agent. Maybe if they asked him, who the agent was, he wouldn´t probably know even the notion of this word. So even such things happened.”
