Kloberdanz In what language do you cry out As swastika-bedecked youths Set fire to your shelter On this, the holiest of nights? Surely you hear the attackers Running and shouting in the street As hatred's hungry flames Lap at the children's feet. "Keine Auslander!" (No more foreigners!) "Schweinhunde!" (Filthy dogs!) "Kommunisten!" (Communists!) "Russen raus!" (Russians out!) Could this be the same fatherland your old ones immortalized in song? —The home of Heine's Lorelei And deutsche Gemutlichkeit? Or does it suddenly seem you are back in Omsk or Volchansk Where the frozen Siberian stillness Was pierced by other taunts? "Rossiya dlya Russkich!" (Russia for the Russians!) "Frits! Frits! Frits!" (Fritz!) "Fashisty!" (Fascists!) "Nemtsy proch!" (Germans out!) Yes, you can fight the encircling flames —Even whitewash the blackened walls. But how do you disguise the telltale smoke when it clings to the clothes of children? Is this why you escaped the gulag And signed your hands upon barbed wire? Did you survive the Russian holocaust to warm your scars in German fire? (Written after hearing a news report about the fire-bombing of a Germans from Russia refugee center in Werbig, Germany.

  • The Nineteenth Century Apostolic Christian Church: the Emergence, Establishment, and Fragmentation of a Neo- Anabaptist Sect
    The Nineteenth Century Apostolic Christian Church: The Emergence, Establishment, and Fragmentation of a Neo- Anabaptist Sect Joseph F. Pfeiffer Doctoral student School of Intercultural Studies Fuller Theological Seminary Abstract This article traces the emergence, proliferation, and identity formation of a 19th century Neo- Anabaptist sect known variously as Neutäufer (New Anabaptists), Nazarenes, and Apostolic Christian Church. The Neutäufer emerged during an era that was a turning point in world religious history, marked by a renewed sense of missionary vigor and the proliferation of major voluntary (as opposed to state-driven) religious movements. These movements radically transformed Western, and even global, Christianity. The article gives detailed attention to the role of Samuel Heinrich Fröhlich in synthesizing evangelical renewalist impulses with traditional Anabaptist convictions. It also follows the tensions that emerged, where agreed upon centrally held traditional Anabaptist values—e.g. non-conformity, plainness, and separation from the world—came to be understood differently as the movement diversified beyond its original context. This article not only contributes to the historical study of the Neutäufer but also contributes to understanding the sociological dynamics of the emergence, establishment, and fragmentation of religious sectarian movements more generally. Keywords Apostolic Christian Church; Neo-Anabaptist; Anabaptist; Samuel Fröhlich; Sectarian identity formation; Nazarene Acknowledgements Many thanks to the numerous members and former members of the Apostolic Christian Churches when I conducted fieldwork, and also for helping me find important documents related to Apostolic Christian Church history. Address correspondence to: Joseph Pfeiffer; [email protected] Recommended citation: Pfeiffer, Joseph. 2018. “The Nineteenth Century Apostolic Christian Church: The Emergence, Establishment, and Fragmentation of a Neo-Anabaptist Sect.” Journal of Amish and Plain Anabaptist Studies 6(1):1-25.

  • The High German of Russian Mennonites in Ontario by Nikolai
    The High German of Russian Mennonites in Ontario by Nikolai Penner A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in German Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2009 © Nikolai Penner 2009 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract The main focus of this study is the High German language spoken by Russian Mennonites, one of the many groups of German-speaking immigrants in Canada. Although the primary language of most Russian Mennonites is a Low German variety called Plautdietsch, High German has been widely used in Russian Mennonite communities since the end of the eighteenth century and is perceived as one of their mother tongues. The primary objectives of the study are to investigate: 1) when, with whom, and for what purposes the major languages of Russian Mennonites were used by the members of the second and third migration waves (mid 1920s and 1940-50s respectively) and how the situation has changed today; 2) if there are any differences in spoken High German between representatives of the two groups and what these differences can be attributed to; 3) to what extent the High German of the subjects corresponds to the Standard High German. The primary thesis of this project is that different historical events as well as different social and political conditions witnessed by members of these groups both in Russia (e.g.
