    1. [BANAT-L] Post WWII Orphanages with DS children
    2. Rosina T Schmidt
    3. Good Morning! As of now we know that some 35,000 Danube Swabian children were forcefully taken out of Tito's starvation camps below the age of 14 and sent to diverse orphanages to be raised as Serbs. Siblings were divided and sent to different localities, as well as forbidden to keep in contact. Through the Red Cross some 7,000 children were eventually re-united with their families but what happened to the others? If you are one of those children or know someone who is, we would love to hear your story. Myself specifically. Rosina www.hrastovac.net
