As the German Armies retreated from Eastern Europe towards the end of World War Two, many of their supporters retreated with them. There were, however, many thousands of people of German descent, whose families had lived in countries such as Hungary, Rumania and Yugoslavia for two centuries or more. They had lived and worked in their adopted countries peacefully, whilst maintaining their German language, culture, and traditions. In the period following the war many were expelled from the lands of their births. Others decided to leave when their homes and possessions were taken from them. This is the story of two such families whose lives were changed forever by events beyond their control. Their stories will be typical of many refugees, but, because of resentment towards Germans generally in the period after the Second World War, and maintained by some even now, their stories have been little documented.
