The collection contains primarily memories of the period 1938 - 1945, with most of the documents dating from 1944 when the Slovak National Uprising broke out in Slovakia. The memories of the uprising come from direct participants and from the secondary sources. The collection contains not only memories of the battles but also of the atrocities perpetrated against the civilian population by the forces of Nazi Germany and the forces of the wartime Slovak state and Hlinka's Slovak People's Party. Another part of the collection are testimonies concerning the prisoners in concentration camps. The documents are processed in the author's register, which includes a brief annotation. The register currently consists of four volumes, and the collection is constantly being added to it, so it is expected that the collection will grow in the future.
