[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Deportation of Germans to Siberia

[richard benert]

Justin,

Some Germans may have been deported to Siberia before 1914, but I think that 
most German settlers before that date went there voluntarily, with the 
government's blessing.  I'm not aware of any listing of names of individuals 
deported, although names  probably exist (at least in some cases) in court 
or administrative records.  Don Miller has made a start at finding such 
names in his "Under Arrest", but the project of finding them all is enormous 
to the point of being impossible.

And yes, there were many deaths, but again, no lists that we know of.
