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
