Hans Bohn, born in 1927 (Kleinsanktpeter
Totina), witnessed both the heyday of
the German peasantry in the Banat, as well as its
demise in the turmoil of the Second World War. He
survived eight years Russian labor camps and forced
labor, worked as teacher and arts editor in
Timisoara, Romania, and came to Germany in 1990.
Today the author lives in Landshut, and now has
published several books. |

Quote from book by
Walter Konschizky
regarding "The fate
of the Germans in
the Banat after the
coup d'état on 23rd
August 1944 up until
the deportation to
the Bărăgan Steppes"
. . .
As a national
minority, the Banat
Swabians always
found themselves in
a difficult
position. A Banater
publicist
appropriately
described the
situation as
follows:
'There can hardly be
a tribe in
south-eastern Europe
which has been more
affected by the war
and its consequences
than the Banat
Swabians. As a
minority in a
country of a
different
nationality, the
Swabians were
abandoned again and
again to the
political and
chauvinistic
despotism during
times of political
unrest, which ranged
from harassment in
cultural and
educational
policies,
restriction of
development
opportunities in
public life and
political
de-nationalization,
to deprivation of
rights and life
threats, e.g.
abduction. In their
unenviable situation
as loyal citizens on
the one hand and
with their affection
towards the German
motherland on the
other, the Banat
Swabians were always
given difficult
decisions to make in
times of destiny
during their
history.'
(Hans
Bohn: 'Verlorene
Heimat' –
Temeswar
1993, p. 56)
