I'd like to announce a new publication in our History section: The Fate of the Germans in the Banat After the Coup of August 23, 1944, and until their deportation in the Bărăgan-steppe in June 1951 by Wilhelm Weber, 2001 - Translated and Edited by Nick Tullius, 21 Apr 2014. Nick's note: Having had lived through some of the events mentioned in this article I can attest that these are the most concise and comprehensive accounts I have ever come across, and the first time that I see the sequence and dates on which the various horrible things to which we Romania-Germans were subjected. http://www.dvhh.org/history/1900s/Fate-Germans-Banat-after-1944~Weber~Tulliu s.htm Thank you for another great read Nick! I enjoy reading about the area where my Banat ancestors lived. I have a 1953 Neuer Weg Almanach (book, similar to the Kalender) and just going through it, I sense the oppression of its contents, even in the photos; and the poems I'd like to have translated because I bet they tell a story. Much different than the DS Kalender books content. Jody McKim Pharr DVHH Publisher

I had problems opening the link, but then realized that the last few letters were cut off. If your e-mail delivered the link in the same way as I received simply copy and paste the entire thing into your browser and Nick's translation of the Weber book will come up immediately.

Dear DVHH Listers, The e-mail for Brunhilde Hinkel, who authored an Ortsippenbuch on Tschanad (Cenad) is apparently defunct. Is there anyone out there with these two volumes who could do a look up on the surnames Frank and Sigmund? Much appreciated! Bill Knuttel, Napa, CA
