The Revolution

Mak Ucu had some royal blood in her. She told me that during the revolution in the 60’s, relatives and descendants of the sultan had a terrible time. Some were persecuted, some were killed. Their belongings taken away from them. She said she saw some relatives murdered when they tried to run away from the city. Luckily she survived. I never asked her what she did when she was younger, but I know that she got a small pension-money from the government and that helped her through old age.
