Hi A bit of history There was no Russian Zone in the thirties. The zone in Germany and Austria came in existence At the end of the Second World War. When our parents were released from Russian slave labor duty at the end of 5 years they were released to Hof-Moschendorf in East Germany. However if they had relatives in the West they were allowed to go there.

Thank you.  I didn't know that.   I found the marriage of Victoria Toth and Lajos Gotz in Backa Palanka.  I found the birth of two children.  I have a picture taken in Palanka in the early 1030's that includes the Victoria and Lajos.  I have the address of the Gotz family in Bandenitz Post Zachun, Meckenburg, Germany, Russian Zone definitely used in 1960.  I have memories of my mother tieing boxes in a very precise way for mailing to the Gotz family and addressing it "Russian Zone. She bought yards and yards of fabric, sewed the sides together, gathered the top and called it used skirt.  This would have been late 40's.  When my great grandmother, the mother of Victoria Toth Gotz, was finally allowed to leave Palanka and came to America in 1952 she told of her daughter in Germany she had not seen for 15 years. Thank you.  I now have a better feel for the time On Wednesday, January 10, 2018, 6:21:33 PM EST, Hans Kopp via DONAUSCHWABEN-VILLAGES <[email protected]> wrote: Hi A bit of history There was no Russian Zone in the thirties.
