Since I went to school. My single biggest fact - except that we have had an insanely strict teacher, was that one of leader's birthday. The knew each child, 20 April, leader birthday, we got a hot dog at school. That was quite something special back then. Before we said in chorus: ". We thank the leaders' And we all - so I've been thinking as a child:" Yes, the leader who has me now given the sausage. "Thus, the children were affected. These four primary school years in the Siebererschule have passed with a very strict teacher as normal. And then I got to high school, which was then housed in the Leopold Street, because the hospital was Sillgasse. As it was, of course changing classes: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday 8:00 to 1:00, Thursday, Friday, Saturday 2:00 to 7:00. And then has changed forever. And since I only have to remember that I was afraid at night in winter. The whole town was blacked out. You could not a window - not illuminated - have open. There's the block warden walked and rang, if anywhere was a gap light. Because of aviation security. And the street lamps, there was only a very narrow at each intersection lamp with such a small cone of light. And I had to go through all the dark city. How far is that of the Leopold Street in the Saggen! Since I'm just always from one another lamp, and every day was happy when I'm home again landed well. The darkness that was really bad for me then.
