Frank Schmidt is celebrating his 88th Birthday today. A lunch is planned on April 10, at noon, at the Donau Schwaben Club in Scarborough, Toronto. He is one of the rare individuals who persevered in collecting & publishing the history of the DS even though he was constantly under criticism & pressure from all sides. We owe him a lot of gratitude for all his life-long efforts....which also included the translating into english of the book: In the Claws of the Red Dragon. Without Frank we would never have had this material available in english. e-mail: frankheim@symaptico.ca

For Charles Re Blumenthal Pamphlet My father's family ( Peter Gall ) were located in Blumenthal. He immigrated to Orkney Saskatchewan Canada in 1924 when he was 21 to avoid serving in the Romanian Military. His eldest sister Maria followed a few years later. I have very little information on Blumenthal and would appreciate all that is available. Peter J Gall, 964 Renfrew Bay, Winnipeg, Manitoba, R3N 1K6.

Nick Mein Heimatland von Peter Jung, Hatzfeld Das Land , wo meine Wiege stand, wo Wohl und Weh mein Herz empfand, der junge Tag mir zugelacht, als ich in Mutters Arm erwacht, der Wachtel Schlag, der Lerche Sang, mir in die zarte Seele klang, und all der Fluren holdes Grün Als eine Zauberwelt erschien: Das Land, das ist das schönste Land! O Heimatland! Banaterland! Gott segne dich, der segnen kann, Er segne Kind und Weib und Mann!! Und ist die Welt voll heitrem Glück: mich zieht es stets zu dir zurück. Ich mag in dir, mag ferne sein, mit Lieb`und Sehnsucht denk` ich dein; Ich steh zu dir in Freud und Leid, mein ganzes Sein ist dir geweiht. Und sterb ich einst nach diesem Los, sei du mein zweiter Mutterschoß! O Land, du allerschönstes Land! Mein Heimatland! Banaterland!

Dear Liz, The quote you provide is totally inaccurate. There were perhaps fifteen million persons involved in the expulsions ordered at Potsdam by the Big Three in 1945 that affected German speaking populations in Poland, Czechoslovakia and Hungary of whom some two million died in the "humane transfer of populations" ordered at Potsdam. The experience of the Danube Swabians in Yugoslavians was in addition to that which unfortunately is not explained in The Forgotten Genocide which focuses almost exclusively on Yugoslavia except for a few oblique references to East Prussia and Czechoslovakia in passing. It is important that we got our facts straight.

Bonyhad; Ostern; Grossdorf; Sigmundfeld; Jahrmarket, Kowatschi Gottlob; Georghausen. The indexes of these villages have KIRSCHNER/KIRCHNER looking for any info on Emalia/Amalia KIRCHNER/KIRSCHNER or variant spelling. b abt 1864 place unknown; but have found KIRSCHNER/KIRCHNER Surnames in these abovenamed village indexes. Emalia married Friedrich BAUTZ/PAUTZ/PAUSZ (var) {1855 - 1898} of Kowatschi/covaci, temes co. They had a daughter Maria in 1884 (do not know if any born to them earlier) in Kowatschi. This may be a 2nd marriage. Emalia, by family lore had a son Stefan Bereckazi (phonetically spelled here) previously. Also by family lore Friedrich had a daughter Barbara or Barbolo previously. Friedrich and Emalia raised their family in Kowatschi. She later (aft. W.W I) lived with daughter and son-in-law Louisa and Stefan Horvath. Do not know if in Kowatschi. She died 1943 or 1948 (two branches of fam have diff date. I have '43 taken from the insurance quellen). They were Catholic. I have no info on Emalia or her parents etc. If anyone has the familie or church book for these villages I would surely appreciate a look-up. thank you. LInda Bautz McKenna.

I also purchased: "The Forgotten Genocide" DVD. Very well made. Does a nice job of telling the story of our people.
