„Tátu vyšetřovali, nic asi nevyšetřili tak ho pustili domů. No a druhej den, to bylo po Štěpánu nějak. To si pamatuju dodnes, tak seděl doma u stromečku. Teplo bylo, my jsme se ještě radovali z dárků. To nás houpal takhle na kolenách a chudák nevěděl, že to je naposledy, co nás vidí . Přijeli policajti: ´Ustrojte se´. No, tak se ustrojil. Odvezli ho a už se neukázal doma od té doby. A už jsme s ním nikdo nemohli mluvit, protože už ho vyšetřovali v Náchodě. A to přijeli hradecký. StB si to vzalo, protože to o tom všecko vědělo, o co jde a už to nemělo SNB, ale estébáci a ti už si s ním dělali co chtěli. Tam ho třískali a všechno. Prostě, přinutili ho k výpovědi, co jak potřebovali.“

"And now the communists were had the upper hand:´Look, these are the enemies spoiling our socialism, where could we have been without them, that´s just them!´ And all those hysterical old women, they´d spit at them and throw things at them, when they pulled them into the bus, oh what the people did! They´d probably beat them to death, so they had to protect them..."

„Prague Procurators came to our school, (to announce) what person is there between you, who had an anti-socialist influencing parents, so that you know, how to annul it... I was amongst those kids and didn´t have a clue, what they´re talking about, all the babble! And it lasted for over two hours! Well children were glad not having to attend classes on Saturday morning... And I was staring at it and could not grasp what´s going on, as I didn´t know anything, we got no paper to examine anything, simply nothing!“
