1945 – 1983 A war that kept killingVojna, ktorá zabíjala ďalej

A battlefield does not switch off. The fields around Svidník were sown with mines, and pyrotechnicians cleared them for years while people farmed between the markers. In June 1945 a forgotten mine in a field at Nižná Pisaná blinded nine-year-old Janko Grega and tore four fingers off his right hand — he went on to finish the school for the blind at Levoča, study law in Bratislava and teach it at the university in Košice. On 23 June 1960 four men building a farm track were knocked down by splinters from a mine they hit, and as late as 12 May 1983 wartime ammunition exploded in a yard nearby and killed a boy. That is what "the front passed through here" means forty years later.Bojisko sa nedá vypnúť. Polia okolo Svidníka boli zaviate mínami a pyrotechnici ich odstraňovali roky, kým medzi značkami ľudia hospodárili. V júni 1945 zabudnutá mína na poli v Nižnej Pisanej oslepila deväťročného Janka Gregu a odtrhla mu štyri prsty na pravej ruke — chlapec neskôr dokončil školu pre nevidiacich v Levoči, vyštudoval právo v Bratislave a prednášal ho na univerzite v Košiciach. 23. júna 1960 zrazili k zemi črepiny míny štyroch mužov, ktorí robili cestu k družstevným maštaliam, a ešte 12. mája 1983 vybuchla na neďalekom dvore vojnová munícia a zabila chlapca. Toto znamená „prešiel tadiaľto front“ o štyridsať rokov neskôr.
