Russian Records
of Donauschwaben
Labor Camps
Workers
by Dennis Bauer
I had written to
the German Red
Cross some time
ago inquiring
about
information on
my cousin, Anna
Eisele of
Batsch, who was
sent to a
Russian work
camp (coal mine
in the Ukraine)
in December 1944
and never
returned. I
just received a
packet from the
German Red Cross
indicating that
some of the
Russian Military
Archive records
has been opened
to the public.
In the packet
was her
interrogation
record and death
report (in
Russian). What a
find. I am lucky
that a co-worker
of mine is from
the Ukraine and
translated the
documents for
me. Perhaps
others can be as
lucky as me and
find out this
type
information.
She died of
Typhus in the
camp on 14
November 1945.
