During her long life, Terez Majsztrovics has never left her small village, hidden at the end of an asphalt track amid the rolling hills of the Hungarian lowlands.
Born in 1934, she saw German, Russian and Hungarian troops march across the area in World War Two, then, once the Yugoslav border was established, she spent a few decades "three hills away" from a frontier fortified by Communists.
During the harshest days of Stalinism, Hungary built a fence along the border, complete with a minefield. It was an "Iron Curtain", built against a perceived threat from the South.
In the 15-kilometre military zone citizens, especially ethnic Serbs like Majsztrovics, were closely monitored. When relations eventually thawed in the 1950s, that fence came down.

The wire border fence is seen next to the village of Asotthalom.
But, sixty years later, another one went up, and the border was sealed off again.
Majsztrovics, who can now hardly walk without a cane and spends most of her days in a wheelchair, said she was afraid of a new threat from the South: migrants.
Truth be told, it has been some time since she last saw one. It was during the great rush, when hundreds of thousands crossed here en route to Germany in 2015.
"The problem is they are not Christian," she said last week, sitting in a chair by her small, crumbling house at the edge of the village closest to the border. She was there "car-watching" as a new border crossing point was opened that day.
She was worried about traffic, as the previously dead-end asphalt now extended to Serbia and beyond.
"Sixty-three cars I counted already," she said. "It's too much."
One of those cars belonged to the foreign minister, she was told. She smiled. She likes the government. Prime Minister Viktor Orban's Fidesz party is good for Hungary, so Fidesz should stay, she said.

In all likelihood, Fidesz and Orban will remain in power after elections on April 8, thanks in large part to their unrelenting opposition to migration and the symbol of that opposition: the double razor wire fence along the border.

The villagers get their news from state TV, controlled by the government, which puts out anti-migrant propaganda. Their fears mirror that.
When a photographer appears to document the fence and their life next to it, they invite her to the local church and ask her what she is up to. Whatever she says, they are convinced she is an agent from Brussels, out to unleash migrants upon them.
It's not a personal grudge. They like the photographer. They feed her mutton stew.
Istvan Barna, 61, stands at home in the village of Bacsszentgyorgy. "My brother lives in Germany, and even he wants to come back. He says every evening when you go to the supermarket it fills up with migrants. He feels unsafe. We are safer here," said Barna.
