In May 1945, I came to Belgrade for medical treatment and to see if any of
my family had survived. I found my brother-in-law's sister, who called my
sister Ina and her husband. That evening, we saw one another again for the
first time after four torturous years. They did not end up in camps; they
were in the partisans and were decorated for their work. After a few days
my younger sister, who was in the Dalmatian division, came to Belgrade, and
a few days later my mother, who was in Bari, arrived. Our father was killed
in the most bestial manner in Stara Gradiska.
After the war, we all began to work. My younger sister finished her
studies; my older sister worked in administration; and I enrolled in the
gymnasium, to compensate for the time I had lost, and I worked at
Jugopetrol at the same time. In two years, I finished four years of
gymnasium, graduated and enrolled in the architectural faculty in Prague.
