English subtitles for clip: File:03 Father did not agree with her decision (Alenka Gerlovic).webm

1
00:00:00,140 --> 00:00:10,240
He was an important man and, in terms of his political orientation in former Yugoslavia, he was conservative,

2
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:16,110
belonging to the Catholic party.

3
00:00:16,110 --> 00:00:33,040
As most conservatives were oriented during WWII, they began to cooperate with the occupier.

4
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:36,150
But my father did not.

5
00:00:36,150 --> 00:00:44,130
He was a nationally conscious Slovene and also a combatant for general Maister during WWI.

6
00:00:44,130 --> 00:00:52,110
He didn’t appreciate my joining though.

7
00:00:52,110 --> 00:01:06,050
There were two people in 1941, coming to see him. I found out later they were important organizers in the partisans.

8
00:01:06,050 --> 00:01:16,100
But I didn’t know why they came to see him. Then he just seemed to become a pacifist.

9
00:01:16,100 --> 00:01:24,040
He helped everyone in trouble and who came to him.

10
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:31,290
But he didn’t much exert himself.

11
00:01:33,150 --> 00:01:45,250
Not to the extent that I could say he was a member of the activists of the LF.

12
00:01:45,250 --> 00:01:54,290
At home they didn’t let me work for the LF.

13
00:01:54,290 --> 00:02:06,220
But I decided that I just had to proceed independently and according to my own set of ethics.
