The Carpathian Germans were a small German people living in the territory of today's Slovakia from the 12th century to 1945, when they suffered genocide. The United Nations in 1948 condemned as genocide any attempt "to destroy in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group as such"in its homeland by murder or deportation, and is currently judging political and military leaders who ordered and supervized such actions in the past round of Balkan wars. Such a destruction was also committed against the Carpathian German people in 1945-1947.

This is the history, and the current doings, of the people I come from. This page is provided as a private volunteer public service. It does not represent the official opinions of the Carpathian German Landsmannschaft, but only my own. Links are provided only for information.

Fern im Osten, wo die goldne Sonn aufgeht,
liegt ein Land, versunken in dem Moor des Leides,
Unsre Heimat, wo der Väter Erbe steht,
Unsre Heimat, wo der Ahnen Odem weht,
Und wir haben nun verloren Beides.

(By Emil Klein, 1899 Muehlenbach/Zips, ethnically cleansed 1946, died 1980 Sachsenhausen/Hessen).

Far in the East, where the golden Sun rises,
there is a land, sunken in the swamp of pain,
Our Home, where our fathers' legacy rises,
Our Home, where our Ancestors' breath moves,
And We have lost Both.
