SARKA VISNAKOVA
(1925-1996)By Prof. Dr. Ing. Libor Brom
Draha sestro,
Tvuj nahly odchod z tohoto sveta je pro mne v Americe velkou ranou.
Byla jsi mym jedinym sourozencem a nadhernou sestrou.
Nevidel jsem Te ctyricet let a mam Te pred ocima takovou, jakou jsi byla v mladi
- krasnou a vernou pokracovatelkou v idealech nasich nadmiru cestnych a pracovitych rodicu.
Nikdy jsem neprestal mit pred ocima Tvyj tezky tivot za pul stoleti nacismu a komunismu -
pohrbila jsi sveho manzela Vladimira Visnaka, v poslednim semestru na medicine vyhozeneho studenta, pozdeji hornika na ostravskych dolech;
pohrbila jsi sveho jedinecneho otce Ladislava Broma, ctyrikrat vezneneho vlastence, naposled tyraneho a odsouzeneho ve veku 76 let;
pohybila jsi svou vsemi obdivovanou matku Bozenu Bromovou, dvakrat veznenou vlastenku a oddanou Sokolku,
pohrbila jsi i sveho rnladickeho zete, ktery se vratil z presencni vojenske sluzby polomrtvy a hned zemrel;
pohrbila jsi normalni lidsky zivot, kdyz Tvoje rodina byla naporad pronasledovana, zbavena vsech zivotnich uspor a tez ostravskeho domova;
nakonec pohybila jsi i nadeji na lepsi budoucnost; kdyz jsi videla pokracujicI postkomunisticke podvody, pokrytectvi a pohanstvi.
Zadny div, rnoje draha sestro, ze Tve unavene srdce tak predcasne dotlouklo.
Tvoje pamatka bude vecna.
Vecnost patri lidem, kteri nezradili.
