Zsuzsanna Bereznai Ten years in the course of history From the servant period and through the Second World War to the People’s Court (1937-1946)

István Kübler was a servant in his childhood at Gara and Vaskút in the Bácska Region. He worked in the farm economies of wealthy German peasants. It was a scary for a little boy from Hajós that he had go to work to another settlement. Rather his strict father forced him to the servanthood, so he would know what is means to be a servant. Most of the poor peasants of Hajós were forced to live this destiny for years or decades. When he returned to Hajós he became a blacksmith’s apprentice. He was pressed into the Waffen-SS during the World War II. He participated in the war without a gun and as a civil servant he worked as a blacksmith. He was captured in Germany, later the soldiers brought them home on foot. On the way he survived siege of Prague what was one of the most serious events of the war. He was sent into a detention camp in Kalocsa when he arrived home. Finally, the war council released him.
