But the hardship on the farm was not the only factor that was disturbing the golden glow that I now see in my memories of my homeland. Another was the development... political development in the country. The part where I was born was, as I said... they were occupied by many German-speaking people and at the time of my birth they were becoming very vocal and they wanted to have... join... have to join Germany. It's called... the general area is called Sudetenland and Sudeten Germans, many of them, were on the side of Hitler. So... and Hitler of course responded to this and demanded that Sudetenland would be joined to Reich, to great Germany. In a very sad and nasty decision in 1938 Great Britain and France agreed to... gave Hitler his way. So suddenly Silesia, the part... my homeland... became part of Germany. Of course the history is known to everybody, then Hitler didn't... was not satisfied with what he got, he wanted the rest of Czechoslovakia, he got the Czech, the Bohemia and the Moravia, then he wanted Poland, he got Poland and that led, of course, to World War II. I have many memories and actually my earliest memories of my childhood are somehow associated with the war. I will just mention a couple of them.
