Related Items Fiction | Aganetha Friesen faces the distressing prospect of emigrating from her homeland in South Russia to North America in the 1870s. The Czar has recently rescinded the manifesto that afforded privileges to the Mennonites. Their greatest concern is the new Russification plan in which the Czar repeals their exemption from military service and their freedom to educate their children in their own way. Though Aganetha harbors strong feelings about emigration and yearns for a voice in her community and her church, she like her Mennonite women counterparts, must remain silent. When they arrive in America, she faces austere and hazardous living conditions on the Nebraska prairie; but ironically, it is when she reaches the depths of her despair that an angel of mercy appears to carry Aganetha through her darkest hour. She returns with the elixir, a new wisdom she has gained from the experience, and her life changes completely. Even the dusty dugout takes on a new dimension for Aganetha, and the prairie suddenly glows in all its beauty and its potential for a new life free of oppression. Copyright Pandora Press 2012 | |

Cover... Related Items Children Feature | "What is he doing?" I remember thinking as I stared in the pan on the top of the stove. though my husband had announced that he was making pancakes for s upper, these did not look like any pancakes I had ever seen. But there was my sweetheart, busily pouring liquid-thin batter into the pan and flipping over large crepes. "These are Russian Menonite pancakes." he said happily, proceeding to spread each one with strawberries before rollin it up. Now, nearly two decades after that newlywed memory, here is a Russian Mennonite alphabet--generously flavored with peppernuts, rolkuchen, and verenike, and textured with storeis of faithful witness, significant places and remarkable journeys. In the process of writing, I met by happenstance one individual wheeze parents had been children during the 1920's emigration; upon hearing the project described, this person immediately exclaimed, "A--Anabaptist, B--Borscht!" His reaction is precisely the spirit with which I hope the book is received. This alphabet sketch is both an invitation to enter, and an expression of appreciation for, the deep wells of knowledge carried by so many around us. --Lisa Weaver. Copyright 2011 CMU Press | |

Cover... Related Items History | The nighttime massacre of 136 innocent Mennonites at
Eichenfeld/Dubovka (Novopetrovka) on Oct 26 to 27, 1919, and elsewhere
in the Nikolaipole volost during the years 1918-1920, was one of the
numerous atrocities of the Russian revolution and civil war. The
victims were pacifist men, women and children, neither partisans nor
combatants, but peaceful villagers and visiting evangelists. The
horror and insecurity of the times did not permit the dead of
Eichenfeld to be openly mourned. Unwashed, they were hastily buried in
shallow graves before surviving family members and villagers fled into
nearby Mennonite villages. This volume tells the story of the massacre. It includes eyewitness accounts and reminiscences by Mennonites and Ukrainians, as well as an analysis of the origins and roots of the event and reflections on its legacy. Copyright 2004 Pandora Press | |
