zen both of Leamington and two
brothers Bill Janzen, Leamington
and Peter Janzen, of Winnipeg,
Manitoba.

brother, Henry Janzen, of Russia,
who they had not seen in 45 years.
The families all met together at
cousins in West Germany. Henry
was 16 and his youngest brother
Bill was.5 years old when the fami-
ly got separated in 1944.
Areas visited in West Germany
were Mains, Pctershogan, Porta
Westfalica, Espelkamp and Mun-
chen. Annie and sister Helen visited
relatives in Salzburg Austria. Henry
was accompanied out of Russia
with two daughters and a son-in-
law. They all had a joyous reunion
with aunts, cousins, nieces and
nephews.
The Janzen family hopes their
brother and family will migrate to
Canada.
