Hardy...
Although Mordechai Altshuler's focus on ideological aspects is for sure correct, I stated earlier that personally I'm tending very much to Svitlana Frunchak's opinion. Let me reinforce my position by an excerpt from a letter of my grandfather Elias Hauster, dated April 7, 1947, i. e. 10 month after the so-called repatriation to Radautz:
http://radautz.blogspot.de/2007/12/blog-post.html
"... Expelled from my home and my familiar existence, I shifted from an intellectual precision worker to mud and water carrier. We are dwelling in empty rooms with some roughly carpentered utensils, our stuff is worn out, one son [Maximilian Hauster] has been murdered, during the winter we suffered from cold, even now it is in the early morning and during the night sensitively cold. Our hygienics (only washing since we are "people without bath") are in winter at the freezing point, as far as practicable cold has to replace hygienics. In part I had to sacrifice my mental warehouse for polenta [mamaliga] in 1942, the rest was swallowed by the steppe [synonymical for the Russians]."
That's how it went!
