Emanuel Karl Wuckert
This is a photograph of my great-grandfather, Emanuel Karl Wuckert, born August 4, 1898 in Norka. Emanuel married Maria Miller, who was born in 1900. Emanuel and Maria had five sons, and all of them were deported to the Altay region in 1941.
According to the book titled “Gedenkbuch – A Memory Book of the Germans in Labor Army Usollag NKVD/MVD the USSR 1942-1947”, Emanuel was placed in the Usollag labor camp on February 15, 1942. He died there on December 5, 1942.
One of Emanuel's sons was my grandfather, Georg Emanuel Wuckert, born in Norka in 1919. He worked in Ust-Kamenogorsk (East Kazakhstan) and died here in 1977. His Russian wife (my grandmother) Anna died much earlier – in 1953. Their marriage was not officially registered because of my grandfather's German ethnicity. My mother's birth certificate says, "no information about father."
My grandfather's brothers are Andrey (1923), Alexander (1927-28), Nicolay (1929-30), and Vassily (1936). All of them, with their mother Maria (Kondratyevna – Russian second name), were sent to Eastern Kazakhstan. I believe that this event was in 1943 or 1944 because, in 1945, my uncle Alexander (my mother's eldest brother) was born in Ust-Kamenogorsk City (the regional center of Eastern Kazakhstan). In 1946, my mother Olga was born; in 1948, my aunt Maria was born. Aunt Maria died in 2003. All of my grandfather's brothers are dead.
