Maybe we were afraid. I don’t know, I can’t remember. Later I was afraid, but then it was all still amusing. We didn’t know yet what a “KZ” was, a concentration camp.

We were playing cowboys and Indians, but it was against Hitler.
(Fritz Molden, interviewed in 2008, on the beginnings of the Austrian Resistance.)
