International Scene Continued from page 4 is getting sorted out, other “Volksdeutschen” are showing up. The biggest increase is from Poland. In 198627,188came across in 1987 no less than 40,000 have returned. Again the number of ethnic Germans in Poland is rather large: one million is a reliable number. The Polish Germans, living much closer to Germany and not having quite as strict a govern­ ment when it comes to foreign travel, do not even wait, on many occasions, for the necessary per­ mission to move. They simply delcare that they are going on a foreign holiday, jump in their car and drive right through to West Germany. Once they get there, the first stop is the reception camp at Friedland in the province of Lower Saxony. Whenthey getthere, they are likely to meet fellow ethnic Ger­ mans from Russia and from Roumania as well since this latter country also has a sizeable German minority, many of whom wantto get out. Last year about 12,000 came from this third group and there is even the story that the West German government has agreed to pay the Roumanians about $7,000 for each ethnic German that is allowed to leave. This would not be the first time that Bonn has done such a thing but the Roumanian government needs all the hard currency it can get. The new life in West Germany is not as easy as might be expected. Right now the rate of unemploy­ ment is about the same as it is in Canada which means that work is not easy to come by. In addition the life style is different from anything they have ever known, not to mention the form of government. Some of the children speak little if any German and thus find it difficult to make new friends. However, judging from the numbers coming, life in the west is still preferable to life in the East.
