Viktor Malinarić

„U bolnici je bilo malo škakljivo… se dešavalo više puti sa, sa ranjenicima neočekivana smrt. Tako da su ponekada dolazili točno sa ceduljom soba broj ta i ta, ime i prezime i treba ga likvidirati i tako je bilo. Iz moje sobe su bila dvojica… su bila dvojica saš te i vid'ti zašto vam to pričam. Su bila dvojica. Jednoga znan da je bija tamo iz Slavonskog Broda, kako se zva ne znam, onaj drugi isto ne znam ime i tako. I… oni su… došli su unutra, ime taj i taj, da, taj, „Digni se“, a svi smo bili teško ranjeni, ali se mor'o dignuti. Digni se i lijepo ga uzeli i cirka, napamet, sto, sto, možda sto deset, stodvaj'st metara od nas, od naše barake do jedne prirodne jame koja je tamo bila u tom dvorištu, to je spadalo bolnici jer bolnica je te barake naše su bile sa ograđene okolo tako da je to spadalo bolnici. To je bila jedna prirodna jama, oni su zvali tamo gipsaona, ma to je vražja gipsaona bila. Oni su tamo bacali razne gipsove, zavoje, te sve te, te, te, bolničke stvari koje nisu bile moguće upotrebe su vozili, nosili žene u tu jamu, ne. E, u tu jamu se te naše ljude i ubijali. Došel do te jame i samo tak s pištoljem i poša nutri. I nikom niš.“ I: „To su Ustaše delali?“ „Da. I kažem ti, iz moje sobe su bili dva, za ostale ja sam čuo kad se pucalo, ali nisam…“

"One day, it was an afternoon, the head of the hospital came to my room, he was often there and he was one of us, our boss was for the partisans and he used to be Ustaša always in a uniform. Then he came and said “Malinarić Viktor”, “That’s me”, it was my turn. Yes, and he was there, there were two of them, he was there the boss and there was this one officer domobran in his uniform. And he said he was outside, he was not in his room, he was alone in the hallway, outside, taking a walk on his crutch. And the officer told me “Where is your room?” and I said “There”. And he said “let’s go to the room” and the three of us went in. So we came in the room and he said “where is your bed?” and I said “That’s my bed”. And then the officer said “please stand there” and he said “you have to leave us”, he said to the ustaša. “Ok”, he said, “I will”. And he left. After he left he said to me “Vittorio, I am zerman. I am zerman, don’t be afraid. I know what is happening but nothing will happen to you” and then we talked for awhile. I asked him how could he be a zerman? And he said “I am Maruca’s son” Maruca is my mother’s sister. And then he said: “Victor, we will keep an eye on you. No person can come near you. You are under a strict control of the SS Germany. No person can come near you but I could because I am wearing the uniform, I can. I will come again”
