DISCRIMINATION OF SLOVENIANS AFTER WAR (ROMANA VERDEL)

interview  // german  // 1:59 Min  // 15.06.2008  // Hits: 72
There were conflicts as well, because I was a Slovenian. I even had conflicts with other Slovenians. They could not understand why I had so much political interest and why I am for the Slovenes and so on. Well, the disappointment was quite big when the English came and treated us like enemies again, and we weren’t even allowed to go to church without ID and so on. Even the English were quite discriminating. When the English came to the farmer’s the first time, armed and strict, I (being a child) thought: ‘Why does the war keep on, although it is over?’ We did not understand that there were still armed men coming to the house when the war was over. Although we originally knew the English to be our confederates and helpers, it was a big disappointment later on. I still can’t understand now, why the English let themselves be so influenced by the Nazis and we – the partisans and the Slovenes - were the enemies again.
