Thank you for bringing my attention to the many talents, awards and drive for reminding us of the history that has taken place in our lifetime. The projects that you have provided and offered are so necessary in reaching the children in our schools and elsewhere. The present history books are now becoming void of the rich history of our nation and others..
It has been a pleasure meeting with you.. I will continue to follow your direction of endeavor.

As the daughter of German immigrants who survived WWII this has always been a topic near and dear to my heart. The stories of forced expulsion, riding on cattle cars, near starvation, being threatened at gunpoint, etc. were passed on to us in our youth so we could know the entire history, not merely the sanitized version. And I’m so pleased to see that someone has given voice to that pain and injustice. I would be happy to help promote your efforts, and as an experienced marketer I believe you would find my skills helpful. Please contact me if you’d like to collaborate!

Ann, I am a German born (1943 in Berlin) Canadian citizen who was informed about your your wonderfully crafted film and thought provoking website. – Congratulations! I am both impressed and awed by all that you have achieved. Any accolades you receive are well-deserved. Not many students (or adults) have heard about the heart-rending fate of ethnic Germans which your film(s) and research so brilliantly expose and bring to the public.
Thank you! Keep up the good work!
