Spring and summer 1942 was probably the worst period of internal terror in Slovakia. It was also the time of mass deportation of Slovak Jews to the extermination camps in Poland.

Socialism with a human face.

Let whatever is going to happen to me happen. I'm expecting the worst for myself and I'm resigned to it.

I can only say, think of me what you will, I have worked for thirty years in the Party, and my whole family has devoted everything to the affairs of the Party, the affairs of socialism.

We shall have to remove everything that strangles artistic and scientific creativeness.

In the service of the people we followed such a policy that socialism would not lose its human face.
