In future it would become known as the Jószefhegy. It is one of the highest elevations in northeastern Somogy County. In its lengthening shadow, the village of Dörnberg would emer...

  • Emigrants and Exiles
    Henry A. Fischer / Henry AFischer
    The isolation the Children of the Danube experienced from the upheavals of history in the rest of Europe would no longer hold true in the second half of the 19th Century and beyond. At the outset, Emperor Francis Joseph’s attempts to preserve the position of the House of Habsburg in the face of the rising power of Prussia among the German states would inevitably lead to a disas...

    Henry A. Fischer / Henry AFischer

Home was what they experienced in their own insular village enclaves scattered throughout Swabian Turkey in southwest Hungary. It was the quest for a new H...

  • Remember to Tell the Children
    Henry A. Fischer / Henry AFischer
    The Children of the Danube were on the move again. They were the descendants of the settlers who had joined the trek down the Danube River in the Great Swabian Migration from Germany to the Kingdom of Hungary in the early 18th century. Perhaps like their forebears, adventure may have been the driving force for some of them, while desperation drove others as they sought to mak...

  • CHILDREN OF THE DANUBE
    HENRY A. FISCHER / Henry AFischer
    Numerous histories and studies of the Great Swabian Migration of the 18th century have been written and published, and the tragic fate of many of their descendants in our own time has also been chronicled. Most of these are available in languages other than English. Much of that research forms the backdrop of 'Children of the Danube,' which is the author’s attempt at telling ...
