I told him: ‘You must go away. Listen to me, we have one option here. You reported yourself voluntarily to the fascists, they won’t ask you whether you went there for emotional reasons, because you didn’t want to divorce me. The first thing they would do will be to arrest you – I said –, it won’t be of much use for me. It’s much worse.
Thus I can hope that we would meet again, but if they take you away, it’s sure you won’t get home alive. So it has no reason that you stay. Go away, so that I have hopes!’ Oh my dear God, I was so right! I always said that I had a presentiment of evil.
I must make a low bow to myself, because I assumed to send him to the front-line, to the unknown – I have no letters – with one child and a future one, because I was four months pregnant. And I was left here with nothing, with absolutely nothing, with one and a half child. He didn’t resist me, though he knew we would be left without bread and butter.
