Long story, complicated story, sad story.
Short of the matter I'm hated because I'm German. I'm lower on the food chain then the Roma people. We lived in towns that were all German and since we were seen as the people who caused all the Hungarians there problems. They forceably evicted us from our homes, put us on trucks and sent us off and were never heard of again.
I have to wait a few years for the people to die out. The people who are living in my family's home, would recognize my name in an instant and since they kicked us out at gun point...

Danube Swabians didn't get the right to vote until the 80s, weren't considered citizens until the 80s and only a couple years ago did the government declare that we were a recongnized minority group and will protect our culture.
