“I’m sorry I’m in such a hurry, I thought they wouldn’t start demolishing until the morning, and we already have firefighters on the roof. I have to hurry to at least take something else. But it’s more about memories than any needs, “tells Novinka an energetic woman who currently lives in Ostrava.

“The wave of solidarity that has risen here really impresses me. I see it all around here; offers, advertisements, it is also perfectly organized by the municipality.

I probably will still remember what will not be here in a moment. But we will definitely try to get a new life back here, “the woman added and disappeared into another room.
