A Daughter's Gift of Love
This story of courage, determination and hope is a powerful and moving memoir that pays tribute to love and devotion and the special bond between a mother and a daughter. Trudi Berger was literally snatched from the flames of the Holocaust. She and her mother were sent to the camps, yet Trudi was saved from death not once but dozens of times—by her will to live, her quick wit, her self-confidence, and especially, her love for her mother. It was this sense of devotion that in the end kept them both alive to see liberation from the camps and a return to life.

Dörnberg: in the Shadow of the Josefsberg
In the past, the steep, majestic, heavily forested, and somewhat impregnable Josefsberg was the lair of robber bands and brigands following the expulsion of the Turks from the area and all of Hungary. In the future, it would become known as the Jószefhegy. It is one of the highest elevations in northeastern Somogy County. In its lengthening shadow, the village of Dörnberg would emerge in the early decades of the eighteenth century named as such by its German settlers in reference to the abundance of thorns in its lower regions. These first settlers were in large part of Hessian origin, having joined the Schwabenzug (the Great Swabian migration) of the eighteenth century into Hungary at the...
From Toleration to Expulsion
On April 6, 1948, a significant portion of the population of the village of Ecsny in Somogy County, Hungary, was expelled from their homeland. This was the result of Protocol XIII of the Potsdam Declaration of 1945 calling for the orderly and humane transfer of German populations now living in Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Hungary. The families involved were descendants of German settlers who began to arrive in what would become the village of Ecsny as early as 1754. They formed an Evangelical Lutheran congregation at the outset that would survive as an underground movement until the Edict of Toleration promulgated by the Emperor Joseph II of Austria in 1782. These two governmental actions tak...

The Atlas of Women in the World
