Minority groups had some rights to separate schools. We note, for example, a German school in Lazarevo located in Serbia during 1939. This was a 3rd grade class. The German name of Lazarevo is Lazarfeld. German immigrants settled on an enormous estate owned by János Lázár de Écska, the son of Lukács Lázár (1800). The settled at “Martinica pusta”. Germans had already settled at Ečka and Jankov Most. In Lázár’s honor it was named Lazarfield. The village changed its name to the Serbian sounding Lazarevo (1922). The village was located in the Zrenjanin municipality, in the Central Banat District of Serbia. It is situated in the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina. As the village consisted primarily of ethnic Germans, the school was taught in German. I do not know to wgat extent Serbo-Croatian had to be taught. Many Germans in Yugosalvia cooperated with the German occupying forces during World War II (1941-44). We have no details as to what occurred in Lazarevo, As the Wegrmacht evacuated the Balkans, most of the ethnic Germans fearing the Partisans departed as well for the Reich. After the War, Lazarevo and cthe German farms were turtned over to veterans from Bosnia and Herzegovina.
