| Andreas Hammer: Hammer / Rak - Lacarak | Hy Jeanann, hy Anton, Hy Josie,
I've just read all the forum and I am really astonished about what I've read.
My name is Andreas Hammer and I am living in Stadl-Paura, Austria, where a camp for Danube Swabians, the so called "Donauschwaben", has been located after WWII.
Here are still living some older people from Lacarak (which is located in Serbian-Croation-boarder-region, in a region which was formerly called "Vojvodina") and the surrounding.
For example Katharina Rak, who was married with Josef Rak, as well as Stefan Rak, the son of Stefan Rak senior, who was also born in Lacarak. He was a friend of my grandfather, Andreas Hammer,who was also born there on 18.04.1919. (I think, I also have a picture of Stefan Rak and my grandfather.)
The parents of my grandfather were Johann Hammer and Katharina Hammer (her birth name was also Hammer, as far as I know). Tomorrow I can ask my father Johann Hammer about their birth dates. My father has also visited Lacarak a couple of years ago. And he knows a lot of the families which fled from this region. He has also organised a meeting for these families and their descendants about 15 years ago, the so called "Lagertreffen". For this event, several hundreds of people, who where born in that region, came from all over the world to meet their former friends and neighbours. I also have a film from that event.
I would really appreciate to keep in contact with you and to change informations about our forefathers.
Best regards from Austria
Andreas
