Apart from the 74 people from Uihei who were deported to Russia in January 1945, fifteen people from Uihei were amongst the thousands of Banat Germans deported to the Bărăgan Steppes in June 1951. I have created three separate pages for the translation of the following three books on the Bãrãgan deportation...

Ausser den 74 Personen die von Uihel nach Russland im Januar 1945 deportiert wurden, sind auch fünfzehn Personen von Uihel im Juni 1951 in die Bărăgan Steppen verschleppt worden. Ich habe drei spezielle Seiten gemacht für die Übersetzungen auf englisch von den folgenden Bücher...
