“A Remembrance of the Past; Building for the Future.” ~ Eve Eckert Koehler
Those who came before us form a part of our individual identities. We must remember our Danube Swabian ancestors – their lives, their courage, their faith, their sacrifices, and the rich heritage that is their legacy to us.
DVHH Administration and Volunteers
The DVHH presents various accounts of their inspirations, traditions, customs, lifestyles, environments, and their mark in history. Both family researchers and historians alike are working together to ensure that our heritage is not forgotten and is passed down to the next generation.
