They came to massacre all those people, and what they did is to kill them with a knife. First, they say that a few groups passed there, by my father’s house, and they didn’t do anything. They left all those people alone. We saw they put a fence down here, that house they fenced in and they didn’t let the people out. Death was waiting for those that were fenced in. My father used to say--Of course, when the first group passed he ran away from the house, he didn’t wait. Only my mother stayed there, and she told him that was going to stay and that he should leave. |
