kakor Sc mi zdi niste prav nice

sati nekaj odlomkov IL mojega
precej trpecega zivljenja, liza
casa 2OOO-letne italijanske in
nemske kulture, katero so nam
vsiljevali okupatorji.
'Bil sem Sc zelo mlad, komaj
II let star leta 1941, ko so Sc
zaceli zgrinjati in nam groziti

tela nepripravljene in razceplje-

ste gotovo citali v Vasih casopi-
sih. Bill smo predani ma milost
in nemilost krvnikom, kateri so
nam takoj prve dneve pokazali,
kaj Sc pravi' biti suzenj.
"Italijani so nam vsiljevali NIL
hovo sramotno kulturo, njihov

pozige in rop. Terror je postajal
il dneva v dan vecji. Pc dveh
mesecih Sc je mas narod ze
zdruzil okoli Osvobodilne from
te. Vsi zavedni Slovenci cd zena
pa do otrok so mrzlicno pa ne
prestano riskirali svoja zivlje-
MIA, da Sc osvobodimo prokle-
tega tiranstva in ubojev. Vsi
smo Sc tajno organizirali, Sc
med seboj podpirali in udarjali
ma sovraga, kjerkoli smo mogli.
Vrsili smo sabotazne akcije, ma
pade ma patrole, vcasih tudi brez
orozja, kar z golimi rokami in
oh belem dnevu.
"Italijani so mnozicno strelja-
Ii nase ljudi in posiljali v inter-
nacijo ter veliko pozigali. Narod
pa nj popustil. Taksna je bila
slika prvih mesecev okupacije.
"Bilo mas je sest tovarisev,
kateri smo osnovali svojo cell
no ter 81 prisegli, da ne bono
klonili do smrti in &c mas pac
dobe, da ne izdamo prav nice
sar. Nase delo je bilo plodonos-
no. Izvrsili smo precej uspesnih
akcij in napadov. Nevarno je
bilo zlasti prenasanje ilegalnih
nash casopisov, obesanje "a
stav, pisanje po hisah, listkov-
nih akcij po ulicah, vtikanje ma
sih casopisov (Slovenskega po-
rocevalca) v zepe italijanskih
vojakov in zbiranje, da delamo
"a narod, "a trpece in mucene.
"Toda 20. novembra 1941 le-
ia so naju tovarisem ma neki

Ii so dan "a dnem in pretepali

ma je bila pretezno samo voda.
Ker pa smo propadali vsak dan
huje, smo organizirali stavko in
tudi uspeli. Res je, da smo tiste
dni, ko smo strajkali, precej tr-
peli, vendar pa smo uspeli. Ma
gajali smo italijanskim krvni-
kom povsod. Edna uteha nam

While they stimulated box office
receipts on selected picture, the
movies made many unforgiving
