Life
Nelly Schmidt shared the fate of persecution of many Black Sea German settlers in Ukraine . Her father was arrested in 1937 and sentenced to 30 years of forced labor. After the German attack on the Soviet Union , she, like the other Germans, faced deportation to Siberia. The family then fled in the country. However, the village of Andrenburg on the Dnieper, where she was staying, was previously captured by German troops. During the German occupation, she returned with her mother to their place of birth. Before the approaching Red Army in 1943, Nelly Schmidt fled to Germany. From 1945 she lived in Schwäbisch Gmünd and completed an apprenticeship as a tailor. She then married in 1951 and settled in Waiblingen .
