Abstract

I was born in Zlirich, right after the First World War, on October 16, 1919. I basically grew up as an only child, because my sister Irma is six years younger. My early childhood memories are happy ones. I remember all kinds of adventures with a band of other, mostly older children, involving such stunts as illegally riding down the rails into an immense clay pit in open rollingtrucks. It is a wonder we survived unscathed.
