Hans Dama and the Banat Encyclopedia
The Timişoara branch of the Romanian Academy of Sciences invited Hans Dama to work as a contributor to the "Banat Encyclopedia" (“Enciclopedia Banatului") to coordinate the contributions on various topics such as educational institutions, educational systems, history, church, art, tourism, administration, folklore, science, etc. as well as German personalities from the undivided Banat, with the help of compatriots from various expert groups. Dama sees this as an opportunity to present more deserving Banater personalities and their merits to the cause of Banat Germans in the encyclopedia and thus also familiarize the Romanian-speaking
readers with them. ~Nick Tullius
Well deserved Hans!
