People should not learn about the expulsions from only the German expulsion organizations. ________ Lavrentiy ----- Original Message ----- From: Aida Kraus To: Laurence Krupnak ; german-bohemian@rootsweb.com Sent: Wednesday, July 11, 2012 1:32 PM Subject: Re: [GERMAN-BOHEMIAN] Expulsion discussions To me this seems like a lot of "chat" but very little historical evidence, I think the You tube presentations are more factual.
