    Info

    "When socialism came... a terrible regime. They took the money, everything was to get for the tickets, she couldn't get anything. Vegetables and things like that were mostly grown at home. Or there was a garden, so there were apples. But southern fruit, we had none, and chocolate we did not know at all. It wasn't until the UNRRA brought it in, and the Russians ate it, that they stuffed themselves. They opened a can of food, and it was them, we - everyone got a piece of lard with bread."
