A few words from the Village
Coordinator:
When I was growing up I heard my
grandparents came from a village called Feketic and I knew it was somewhere in
Yugoslavia. But I didn't know much else. In 1996 I was deployed to
Hungary. While I was there my father sent me a list of 50 names of Schwebler
families in Germany. I sent letters to many of them and after I received
responses I made arrangements to meet a couple of the families, one near
Heidelberg and another near Munich. When I visited the family near Munich they
show me the book about the village of Feketic written by Dr. Pratscher. I was
thrilled and asked them for a copy. Later they sent me a copy and I have been
translating ever since.
