Alex has written several articles regarding Donauschwaben history, culture and lifestyle. German being his mother tongue and being fluent in English, he has translated numerous items for the DVHH. Due to his contributions to the DVHH archives and the Donauschwaben community at large Alex will remain forever with us.
You can see, Alex has numerous contributions to the DVHH and associated villages. Although his expertise is Banat, he provides the DVHH with much more.
In 2005, Alex initiated and continues to coordinate our Letters From the Homeland – Translation Assistance Program. Besides being a Resource Contributor and a Mentor, Alex is an member of the DVHH Administration Team, one of the Banat Regional Coordinators and was the DVHH Mail List Administrator from Feb 2006 to Jan 2009. Our mail list subscribers were fortunate to have had him looking after us!
Alex has been very generous with his time and contributions to the DVHH project, which generations to come will enjoy and appreciate. Thank you Alex for keeping the Danube Swabian legacy alive!
