"My younger brother, Bandi, was taken away on Sunday and was executed in the yard of theVillage Hall. The Feketes were executed at the same time, father and sons, in the order of theirages; Janos, Sandor, Feri and all the younger ones too. All the male members of the Bun andGosztonyi family, and old Teca111Hagymas. She had been outspoken all her life, and kept talking back to them insolently:"Shoot in my ass", she turned her backside towards them; she was shot in the head.Terus Kelemen and an other woman was also executed then.Mihaly, my husband, managed to hide on the farm. One night he came for me: "Let us flee toNovi Sad". We hid there till spring; this was not without danger. My parents were taken to theJarek camp in January."Those few who were left alive were driven to Backi Jarek on January 23, 1945. Their homes andall other properties were confiscated; they could only take their clothes with them.
