WELCOME...WILLKOMMEN...TO PANNONIA PRESS
Pannonia Press was created to publish a book. A book entitled BAREFOOT IN THE RUBBLE.
I wrote this book because it is a story that very few people know about. It is a
story that was experienced by people from 1945 to 1950, after World War II. More
than 15 Million people were persecuted all over Eastern Europe - Why? Because we
were Ethnic Germans. We became scapegoats for the Communist World. More than 2
Million perished.
My story is not unique, it is one that many people experienced, but few have told.
In 1989, I decided to write my family's story down in hopes that a publisher would
put it in print. I started to send out one manuscript after another... but after
over 30 rejections... PANNONIA PRESS was born.
PANNONIA is what the Romans called an area that is now a part of Austria, Hungary,
Yugoslavia and Romania. My people come from this region - we are known as DONAUSCHWABEN
or DANUBE SWABIANS. We were the first ethnically cleansed from Yugoslavia by
Marshall Tito in 1945.
