| Finding Vital 1796-1945 Data Regarding German and Hungarian Ancestors of Banat(ska) Topola and Novo Selo, Plus an Exposé About the Local 1945-1946 Internment Camp for Germans of Yugoslavia Author: Jacob Steigerwald The publication should also be of particular interest to descendants of Danube Swabians who have been wondering about actual procedures that Tito’s partisans employed in wiping out the ethnic group. In a variety of ways, my account also has relevance regarding criminal actions against indigenous Germans elsewhere in the country, from 1944 until 1948.

| From Franzfeld to Mansfield A Journey Through Tito’s Death CampsAuthor: Edna Schuster Becker Publisher: Outskirts Press (June 16, 2010); Language: English; Paperback: 200 pages; ISBN-10: 1432749129 / ISBN-13: 978-1432749125 This memoir conveys the journey of ethnic Germans living in an area that had changed to a non-German nationality after WWI in southeastern Europe. The towns existed because during the Austria-Hungary reign, people were asked to resettle there from northern areas of that empire. The author tells the story of her life that began in a town called Franzfeld, not too far from Belgrade. The town now is called Kacareva. During and after WWII, the village was occupied by the German Army, then the Russian Army and ended up under Tito’s regime. The men were away in the war. This town, along with other German towns, was drastically changed after the Russians came through in 1944. The Russians took men and unmarried women with them to rebuild their war-torn country. These workers lived in camps with little food and had to perform hard labor. When Tito came to power, the Germans were stripped of all their rights. In 1945 all Germans were forced into concentration camps, many of them known as death camps. The author and most of her family survived, and because of her mother’s courage, escaped to Austria in 1947. After re-uniting with her father, it took the family five more years to find a permanent home in America. Franzfeld Village Information |

| Irene’s Song Author: Astrid Julian Charleville, St Hubert, and Soltur, the three sister villages making up Banatsko Veliko Selo. Still , it frightened Nanji to think that of all the people in the surrounding villages, only Danitza had the courage to come and visit. She watched Danitza walk down the tree-lined street. The leaves of the young trees had been trimmed into small round balls. As a child Nanji liked to imagine giant poodles living under the village streets. When fall winds blew through Charlevil, St Hubert, and Soltur, the three sister-villages making up Banatsko Veliko Selo, it looked like the poodles were wagging their tails in anticipation of the good food the harvest would bring.
