transcription:
So, you know, when I was born. And - I was five years old when the First World War has begun. Yes, and then I went to school. With six years ago I started to visit the school. Since I was in Absam - because we lived then and did Absam in the school - about four years. And then I brought my mother in 1918 to South Tyrol to her aunt. And there I was - They had a mountain farm, a very large one. When I was 12 years old then it had already been called to do heavy work. Milking cows muck out, - 30 head of cattle, 2 horses, 40 sheep, a dozen goats they had. And since I could never do a task. It was not possible. And in January 1925, after nearly seven years I have brought my mother again. Then I went in as a factory, in Mühlau, and that was a terrible thing. Since we have had a dust that I have seen nothing. I had to use a shredder - with 16 years - and there's been so much dust that you no longer know where to hingreift.
