Summary/Abstract: The article presents memories written in 1988 by Srečko Šuligoj (1923–1997), a priest from Gorizia. He was arrested as a theologian by the Yugoslav OZNA (Department for the Protection of the People) in the first days of May 1945 along with the Gorizian archbishop of the time Carlo Margotti and some other Gorizian priests. They were imprisoned in the palace of the Coronini counts in Gorizia; however, they were released after a few days and the archbishop was exiled to Udine. The author described in detail the events during those days which were full of uncertainty. After Šuligoj’s death, the typescript remained forgotten among various materials in the parish archives in Levpa. Although slightly altered, it had already been published in its integral form under the title The Arrest of Archbishop Margotti in the calendar for the year 1990 by the publishing house Goriška Mohorjeva družba. This time, we publish it in the original typescript form.
