They knocked hard on the door on the 5th May at 11 o’clock in the evening: “Open up, open up!” And the father asked: “What’s wrong?” – well – “open up!” So he opened and they asked where I was. I was lying in the living room, but I heard everything. Then two or three came in and shouted: “Get up!” “What’s wrong?” I asked – well. “Get up and you will see then what’s going to happen.” Of course I got up then. And the others – my family: the father, the mother, a Polish helper, and my three brothers all had to get up, as well. They all had to sit down behind the table. I was put towards the door so I could not look at the others. And then we were interrogated. One after the other, the mother first ... I was interrogated last. Unfortunately they had found something and I had to confess … just because otherwise the family … so I had to confess and then it was decided that they would march me off early in the morning. When I was getting dressed in the morning I asked one of the guards: “Well, what shall I put on?” He said: “You won’t have warm feet for long anyway. You won’t need anything.” That was his answer. At 6 am in the morning we left home. Only then I saw: the whole village looked green because of all these soldiers and field police. Most of them were field police. Then we went up to where the constabulary was, at the next inn. There they showed me a map of Ludmannsdorf and I could see that everything was put on record; all the houses that we had had connections, just everything. I couldn’t believe my eyes, what was that? But I couldn’t work out, why. Then we drove away and went out to Bach where I saw that they had a lorry, a military lorry. In there were all the others that had been arrested with me. Altogether we were 18 persons. From there we were taken to the Gestapo (secret state police) forum in the court house in Klagenfurt. There the Gestapo had occupied the first and second floor. Most of the people on the second floor were either waiting for their hearing or the ones that were to be taken to the camps later on. There we were until Christmas. After Christmas (26th December) we were transferred to … On the ground floor was the court and there we waited again. One or two weeks later it was the turn for the others. Ten of them were sentenced to death and five taken to the different camps. Then it should have been our turn. The ‘Obergerichtsrat’ (high grade judge), or whatever he was called, „Freißler“, he had to go to Berlin and there he died. It was said that he had been shot, or killed by a bomb. That he had been bombarded on the way. Because of that we kept waiting until the war was over, really. Once there was a message that we would be taken to Graz. There they almost always shot most of the people who were delivered from Klagenfurt to Graz. We were lucky again: During the night they bombarded and destroyed the railway track quite a bit and again, we were in Klagenfurt because of that. We were eventually freed on the 6th. Then the supervisor got us to the first floor where somebody was waiting; and there I got my warrant of arrest, my records and they wished us all the best and said that we were free. But the war wasn’t over yet.” Of course, I was totally happy, went out of the door and shouted for joy with all my heart: “I am free!” And my cousin, who was picking me up, said: “Shut up. The war is not over, yet.” And she was right. Even during the last two days SS – about one partisan I know for sure – marched her off, then cross examined and shot her. That is how it worked for many. Well, with that we were freed. And at home they were still living in fear. The war was not over, yet. And again and again there were reports: something else happened. There they kidnapped one or killed one or… Well, to us, thank God, that did not happen.

The revolt was beaten down within a few days, but they kept working until 1938, when we were linked to Germany.
The father, Wasilij, was still young. And he kept saying that, because of the National Socialism: “That will be no good.” but we mustn’t repeat what he said.

The resettling of the Carinthian Slovenes. With the occupation of Yugoslavia they already transferred our parishes into German parishes. Then we weren’t even allowed to sing Slovenian in church. We had an inn, and there we had to hang up posters: “Carinthians speak German!” There you always had to look out who was at the inn – as there were spies around and again – whether you spoke Slovenian or German. Of course, ... more |

I was in prison as well. There was a raid. Somebody had said – that was at the end of October – we were having contacts. But there really was something. Once there was one, she was imprisoned as well, she always said: “If something happens, would you want to come with us?” so I asked: “Well, what’s going on? - Yes.” - “You will see. “ - “Sure”. Something was given away, allegedly. There were two supervisors that ... more |

I was born in Remschenig near Eisenkappel into a Slovenian family; at my aunt’s, really, where my mother was a farm maid. In this house lived: my sister, Zofija Rotter, my mother, Ana Rotter and I. There was another aunt, Marija Rotter, with her daughter, Marija Rotter, and then there were Jurij Sluga, Katarina’s husband, and his brother Hanzi Sluga and Katarina’s sons Michael Sluga, Karl Sluga and Franz ... more |

We were quite desperate. Then we remembered that we still had another aunt nearby. We would go there; it was aunty Amalija. She had three children of her own, and her husband (her partner, really) was still at home. We stayed there. But the aunt had such a small flat. So she went to our house, where she looked after the small animals and us children because we had enough to eat at home; plus the small animals to ... more |

At the end of January 1944 the aunt got us ready and dressed and we asked: “Where are we going?” The older ones already knew, but the little ones didn’t. And she said: “Well, we are going to church.” So we asked: “At night? Why are we going to church at night? Why is there a church service at night tonight?” The aunt answered: “Well, because there is. Let’s go.” So out we went. We had put a lot of clothes on ... more |

So, we went back over the mountain to Carinthia, when the snow was gone. Before it was near enough impossible. We got to a farmer’s where the cousin’s grandmother was. The aunt asked the grandmother whether she could leave the youngest daughter there, because she was very ill. This woman said she could, because the girl would die otherwise. So I thought: ‘Oh, she can stay and I have to go again; and it is so nice ... more |

We were always in danger of something happening and it did. One day three partisans came (friends of the farmer and one relative) and came in for a snack. The farmer said: “You did not put up any guards.” So they answered: “We will be gone in a minute, anyway.” They really got up and went outside but they stayed in the hallway and kept talking for a little while. And the children did what they always do when ... more |

Diie Großmutter von Herrn Crüger lebte in der Sophienstraße in der Spandauer Vorstadt, die hinter den Hackeschen Höfen bis hoch zur Torstraße und bis zm Ende der Oranienburger Straße verlief (hinter der großen Synagoge). In diesem Stadtteil wohnten damals sehr viele Juden, aber auch Nicht-Juden. Herr Crüger ging wie jedes Wochenende zu seiner Großmutter und auf dem Weg sah er die Menschen mit einem Judenstern. |

Das Mädchenheim brachte vierteljährlich eine Zeitschrift heraus, in der Kontakt zu den ehemaligen Mitgliedern gehalten wurde. In dem Vorwort brachte der Vater einen Artikel heraus, der den religiösen Vorstellungen der Nazis nicht entsprach. Deshalb konnte er seinen Beruf nicht weiter ausüben und wurde frühzeitig in den Ruhestand versetzt. |
