Was wondering whether or not the history of , and plight of the Germans living in Russia from the 1700's to the 1940's is taught today in the schools in Germany ?I have spoken to 3 or 4 people from Germany fairly recently, & believe it or not, they never heard of the German colonies in Russia !! Could they be an exception to the majority ?I should have asked them this question, but didn't think of it at the time.
