Dear researchers, my book “German Bourgeois Families of Gross-Kikinda before WWII” is now published  in English. It describes the German families and their contribution to the development of Gross-Kikinda. Among these Donauschwabes were merchants, large landowners and those who created new industries. They left their stamp on the city in the form of their architecture and cultural monuments. These German citizens have now disappeared from the scene almost 70 years ago and without my book, the story of their roll in the development of the city would be entirely forgotten as well. The book with 183 pages and 200 illustrations, in English language is now in the printing process. Price 15 Euro (ore US $ 20). Please ordered the book from the author, Marta Istvan, at [email protected]
