Those people were in need.
And I could help them.
You don’t say not to that, do you?
I wanted to fulfill my human obligation.

I thought it was quite normal.
I thought it was nothing special. I could help them,…
…well, and I did.
After the war, yes, then I got more time to think about things.
Jan and I, after all, faced the problem that we had lost seven people.
And that is something you can’t put aside.
It kept coming back.
And then I said: “Jan, look,…
…in those dark times,…
…in the war,…
…we did not stand aside…
…but took action to help people.
At the stake of our own lives.
Indeed – we could not do more."
That is a comfort,…
…although sometimes you can feel defiant.
It’s the why.
But well, that just doesn’t work.
