I am a Master's student at York University conducting an oral history project on the immigration experiences of Danube-Swabian immigrants in Canada. Inspired by my grandparents' stories of the old country and unique immigration experiences as ethnic German immigrants from Yugoslavia, I am very interested in recording experiences of other Danube-Swabian immigrants. In particular I am interested in stories about thier lives Yugoslavia, Romania and Hungary prior to immigrating, the circumstances of emigration, and thier new lives in Canada.
Anyone interested in learning more about the project, and in particularly those who might be interested in contributing thier stories, should contact me at
rstrung@yahoo.ca for more information.
