We accepted this work and did it until March 1957 when
the Czech government arrested us on spying charges, and later claimed that
Pavel and I undermined the Czechoslovak Republic, because we anonymously
sent money to Holocaust survivors.
Pavel was imprisoned from March 29, 1957 to March 29, 1959 and I was
imprisoned from March 29, 1957 to November 29, 1957. It was so terrible in
prison, that I prefer not to think about that period. I'm sorry not to
speak about it; I cannot. After serving our sentences, life was very hard
for us in Czechoslovakia.
