"Donauschwaben
Tributes"
Page added to
Website
|
This section of the Landesverband
website was added in September 2013 after numerous requests that a
"Donauschwaben Tributes Section" be established. This section
would be reserved to honor those individuals, organizations, etc., that
have contributed positively to the promotion of the Donauschwaben
Culture and Heritage. Pages will be added to this section as they are
defined and developed.
The initial page in this
section was dedicated to Theodor Junker, President of the Landesverband
der Donauschwaben, USA 1972. April 13, 1919 to April 14, 2013
obituary. http://donauschwaben-usa.org/Theo%20Junker.htm
