A new found distant cousin who lives in Germany sent the book to me. You
are right - it was very very hard to read. It is unbelieveable what we as
human beings can do to one another. It was stated in the book that it has
been translated into Serbian as well. My family research is mainly out of
the villages of Backi Breg and Kolut and in Jan. a young Serbian man who
lives now in Kolut & goes to college in Novi Sad contacted me through Radix
as he noticed houses that still had the name KELLER on them. We have
written back and forth a couple of times and he stated he knew nothing about
when the Germans lived there so I have recommended this book. I hope he
takes the time to read it and I would then like his comments.
