The twentieth century will become
known as a century of forced evictions.
The Banater Swabian where twice
victimized of deportation, in January

events shook the foundation of communities, which brought
inexpressible sorrow over many families. |

"In spite of everything!" "For 800
years the Rumanians sat there and
said that the Baragan bore nothing but
thistles. Nonetheless, Swabian deportees
from the Banat successfully planted a
vegetable garden on the land."
