The SS Würzburg
By far the largest emmigration of Josefstal residents took place in October of 1908. Over 200 boarded the SS Würzburg in Bremen, and took the long journey to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Most of these would make their way to Argentina, to such places as Santa Anita, Coronel Suarez and Crespo.

The fall of 1941 saw the expulsion of the Volga Germans to Siberia. Made to fend for themselves in the coming winter in Siberia, many of them perished. In 1942, all Volga German males were separated from their families and “drafted” into a “Worker’s Army”, located in special “work camps”. These “work camps” were labour/concentration camps and the work was actually slave labour. (Women were placed in other camps)
After 30 years of work, this book is finally completed. Alexander-Josef Dreser and myself worked together for a number of years putting the material together. I have been collecting information for over 30 years.
