First there was the son. After a year he had to enlist, the father of it. Of course, what you left, a farewell should be. And then it's just happened again, and then there were the twins. Today I'm happy, I must honestly say, today I am glad I had them, but at that time it was terrible because that's all been regarded as a sin. Not, there it has not given joy to children. Absolutely not. And that was not like today. It was an eerie (shame) My father - I would say of him, not a bad word - he has also done his part, I would like him say anything wrong .. But he said: better to him, it burns down the house as this sin. The whole name of the house with Siggitzer, I have started with my twenty years, only shame. Now you can imagine what that was. Then we have in the house - it was a big house - rented rooms, two or three. We have been rented, and there was an engineer of this company in one of these rooms. In another room, a teacher was inside. The one in Dölsach teacher, and he knew very well heard about us girls because of Siggitzer. His father played guitar in the room, we sang a bit. He perceived the teacher, and then he said, "Yes, that's Siggitzer Moidele one that has a very beautiful voice." he landlord down there and then said to my father. "Well, let's train the girls, let's turn once a teacher, who is train a little something, we need singers for the choir" And afterwards it took a while, until the teacher once made the request, and then he began to teach a bit. Since I should learn a little singing. And there are between this learning process, finished singer, that's what happened with the children. And then you me - because you go to the church in the choir .. the door locked. I have since not even allowed to go up in the choir. I once wanted only as a little bit up, I go in there in the whole. They were all old singers, all rather old, not young. Since I had been the youngest. But afterwards it was said: "No". A woman - which is already long in the cemetery - said: "If the Siggitzer Moidele comes to the chorus, and then they will not." And then would be equal to some one in ties which, because they have all said: "With mortal sin, which has committed, well, there needs to go not to the choir. " So it is. And then it started, the whole hard life. Then it started. Then there was the war time, and afterwards you have to imagine, me with the load, am I with the children. I have in my own house probably had a room. And now you can imagine. Now you have to have something there. Franz was the first son, and with which it is not really me at birth even gone so well. But it's also made him become a man, now he is a man just like the others, but is on the twins, I went bad because it was just too early. That was a year later, and it was just all too soon. I'm not finished with the other. After the twins were there. I've had nothing prepared, I went to a doctor to do nothing.
