I have a similarly titled book, "Genocide of the Ethnic Germans in Yugoslavia 1944-1948" by the Documentation Project Committee (Donauschwäbische Kulturstiftung) and published in Munich in 2003 in English. It appears to be a very good and detailed book. - Brad Schwebler Sent from my iPhone > On Oct 16, 2017, at 3:57 PM, Lori Straus via DONAUSCHWABEN-VILLAGES <[email protected]> wrote: > > camps

Hi everyone, Here’s a partial list of my search results for “Danube Swabians.” I don’t have time to fix the spacing, so I apologize for the large gaps in between. I don’t know how strong each of these sources is, but the original ask was for sources (albeit in English, and not all of these are). Just because they’re from a university library catalogue doesn’t automatically make them good, of course, and some don’t appear to be super relevant, but here they are, anyways. You may be able to request them from your public library.

Since my Husband and I have been attending the meetings in Kitchener, and Toronto held by a group  of members from the DVHH, he has become quite interested in the plight and stories about the Danube  Swabian.  To the point, that he has read several books and I constantly search for more information on the internet.  A few years ago, I found and printed a report by Mr. Frank Schmidt from Toronto who is the author and had a Danube Swabian   newspaper. Mr Schmidt was raised and educated in Toronto , Ontario and translated a number of books into English.  During WW II he served 5 years in the Canadian Army.  He further visited sites of Yugoslav death camps. My 4th generation Canadian husband from Irish stock is totally absorbed with all that he reads on the plight of the DS.   He came across it last night and read it and said it was so very interesting.  The title is "The Genocide of the Indigenous Ethnic Germans of Yugoslavia (1944-1948) and the Deliberate Media Cover-up". It starts from the year 1683 and their contribution to the development of the region and their brutal expulsion. It is well worth the read! Hope to see some of you  at the November 4th meeting in Guelph.  It is open to all. Helga Kiely   

There has been a good deal of research done. When I search the University of Waterloo’s library catalogue, I come up with hundreds of citations, including articles, books, theses, and dissertations. Much of it is in German, though, and since it’s only accessible through a university, you would need to either revive your alumnus status at your alma mater (to get likely limited access to their online library) or go to a university directly to do the research. Here are the first three. Please forgive any odd characters; I just cut and paste, but these give you a small idea of the kinds of subjects that have been researched. These may or may not be peer-reviewed, but that may or may not be important to you. (That means research that has been vetted by other researchers.)

Without a mother I was 9 years when the Russian can to our town October 1944, deported both of my parent to Russia and incarcerated the people of our town to the dead camp of Gakowa in March of 1945. When the partisans murdered my grandmother at Christmas 1946, I became independent. Since the time of Christmas 1945 to August 1948 I was without my mother, at a time a child needs his mother most. Those years without a mother one never can get back. Güsse Hans Sent from my iPad

Hi everyone, Something reminded me this morning of the cakes that my oma used to make. I don’t seem to have the recipes, and I’m not finding anything comparable online, so I wonder if any of you are familiar with these and can help me out. The first was her rice cake. It was a simple affair that she would bake in a spring form pan (but then, she baked almost everything in a spring form pan, so maybe that was just her habit :-) ). Sometimes we’d have a slice cold, for breakfast, with a little cinnamon sugar sprinkled on top; sometimes we’d warm it up and drizzle some raspberry syrup over a slice, for dessert. I know for a fact it had no flour in it, but I’m not sure of the proportions of other ingredients. The other was a nutty sponge cake, usually eaten plain for a light dessert, or a snack. I’m reasonably sure she used walnuts for this, but don’t know what else went into it. It’s probably been more than 30 years since I had either of these. I’d love to make them and surprise my dad over the holidays. Cheers, Linda

I found the following:  "History of German Settlements in Southern Hungary" by Susan Clarkson, Ph.D. I think this is could be what you are looking for????

Thank you, John. I actually think I do recall reading Clarkson’s article many years ago, and would like to have a look at it again. Sadly it looks like the website where it was hosted is defunct. If anyone knows if it has been reposted anywhere, please let me know!
