Schroeder-Fast Letters from Ukraine Collection

  • CA MHCA MHC20
  • Collection
  • 1930-1988, predominantly 1930-1934

This collection consists of 50 letters written by members of the Peter Schroeder and Johann Fast families from 1930-1988. These are letters which the David and Agatha Fast family of Manitoba received from members of the family who were left behind in the Soviet Union when they emigrated in 1929-1930. Of the 50 letters, 42 were written between 1930-1934, and the remaining 8, scattered widely over the period from 1939-1988. They convey the experiences of the terrifying Stalinist years and convey glimpses into how life unfolded for the family.
There is also one CD with a digital copy of the publication We must Adapt (Wir Muessen Uns Schicken): The Schroeder-Fast Letters 1930-1938: Learning to Live in Stalinist Russia (2nd Edition), 2012.

Each mathematical page is embellished with elaborate and colorful fraktur art. Some pages have Latin language titles. The second section was written by Jacob Wiens (1816-1888) a nephew of Peter Wiens (1770-) through his brother Jacob (1767-1845). This portion is a compilation of various writings, some of which have been copied from other sources. Materials include stories such as Cholera in Rosengart, and Election of Jacob W. Kronsthal as teacher and J. Dyck as deacon; Home remedies for a good mouth grease, how to make a barometer, for headaches, and how charcoal can be used for medicine; Letter book that includes Invitation to the Mennonites in Danzig to emigrate to Russia and The Privilege given by Kaiser Paul; poetry and a travel diary detailing the migration of the Wiens family from Russia to Manitoba in 1876. Included with this book is an index to both sections and a translation of sections of the second portion of the book. Material has been translated and published in Nettie Kroeker's book Grandfather Wiens' Diary en route Russia to Canada, and translations by MHC volunteer Jake K. Wiens.
