I learned Czech in Brno and went to university there. I received my degree
in pharmacy. My husband receives a monthly pension of around DEM 200 per
month now. He was in Ferramonti [see Italian internment camps] [6].
Now that we are old we have no family at all to turn to. My son lives in
Bratislava. When I was growing up, I had such a huge family to turn to,
even though I was an only child. Now there's just the two of us, my husband
and I. Each year it gets worse and worse. The pain I feel for having lost
my entire world, my family, cannot be soothed away. That world cannot be
replaced.
