Hi all, I recently returned from a trip to Serbia where I visited my family’s ancestral home in Neue Schowe and the Donauschwaben Memorial in Jarek. As you may know, it took a lot of time and work to get the memorial put up. It was nice to hear that the president of Serbia attended the dedication and, from what I was told, seems to have said the right things. Unfortunately, I could not find a text of his speech. Is anyone on this email who spent time in the Jarek camp and might have known my family members who were also there? The youngest was my distant cousin Elisabeth Poth, who was born in 1919 and died as a slave in Russia. Her mother was also named Elisabeth Poth and her grandmother – and my great grandmother – was Theresia Krieger. I’m looking to gather whatever information might be available on them. Elisabeth Poth Sr. made it to Cleveland and helped raise me. I remember she had a pancake-sized scar on her back. This presumably came from being whipped while in Jarek. I realize that it won’t be easy to find information given all the time that has passed but I figure it is worth a shot. Here is the data on the three of them from the dvhh.org website. Krieger, Theresia, 1866, ref., † im Lager Jarek. Debrezin-Gasse 94 Poth geb. Krieger, Elisabeth, 1895, ref., Cleveland; Debrezin-Gasse 94 Poth, Elisabeth, 1919, ref., † in Rußland; Debrezin-Gasse 94 Thanks! Greg Steinmetz
