Profile of an Americanized Danube Swabian:


Ethnically Cleansed under Tito

 

          Story of a Danube Swabian immigrant to Chicago and his quest for self-improvement upon having been denied educational and vocational opportunities as a member of Yugoslavia's disenfranchised German minority and as a refugee in Romania, Hungary and Austria, from 1944 until he came to America in 1951.  His advancement to a career as a university professor in the Midwest contrasts sharply with former exposure as a teenager to Nazi and Communist thinking.  Proverbial tenets regarding traditional perceptions in his native environment are fittingly reexamined.  By means of a historic group overview, the book contributes toward filling a gap in pertinent English coverage

Banat-Topola Schwaben: 1791-1945

 

(German & English in one combined volume)

 

    Descendants of expelled and widely scattered former inhabitants of this village in the Vojvodina are now also living in some English-speaking countries.  The listing of former local residents (p.48-51) should prove useful in genealogical research, along with the village history that is provided, from it's founding to the expulsion of its German-speaking native population in 1945. - How this German-Hungarian Catholic settlement with the successive names of Torontáltopolya, Töröktopolya, and Banatska Topola became a place of religious veneration is also covered in this combined German and English volume.

 

 

Bilingual paperback (Ger. & Engl.) 27.5 X 21 cm, 154 pages, $19.95, ISBN 0-9615505-3-9 Illus.,
