Elenka Ferková: Životný príbeh
Elenka Ferková sa narodila 26. januára 1941 v Kysáči. V tom roku sa už ľudia tichšie rozprávali, zábavy bývali menej veselé a v roku 1940 vystali aj XXII. Slovenské národné slávnosti… Plamene druhej svetovej vojny sa stále viac blížili k juhoslovanským hraniciam. Na Pavla sa v mnohých rodinách pri tichosti oslavovali meniny a chlapi diskutovali o nebezpečenstve vojny. Hneď po oslave Pavla zaznel v zámožnej rodine Ferkovej detský plač.
