		<description><![CDATA[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 &#8220;drafted&#8221; into a &#8220;Worker&#8217;s Army&#8221;, located in special &#8220;work camps&#8221;.  These &#8220;work camps&#8221; were labour/concentration [...]]]></description>
