Notice the straw at the left.

We note the Putinci Village German school in 1928. Yugoslavia was a multi-rthnic country. Some villiages were of mixed ethnicities. Many ethnic Germans lived in largely German villages. We do not know much about the village before World War II. Putinci (Путинци) is located in Vojvodina province. Vojvodina was an autnonomous province of Serbioa before the War. During the German occupation it was partioned between Hungary, Croatia, and occupied Serbia. The German Banst became essebtially independent from Serbia. The Germans either fled from Yugoslavia after the War or were expelled. The village today has has a Serb ethnic majority and has a population of avbout 3,200 people (2002 census). The school in 1928 had about 30 children and we think a lady teacher. We do not know a lot about Yugoslav school policies, but believe the Germans were allowed to have schools teaching in the German language. Some classes probably had to be conducted in Serbo-Croatian. Wwe are not entirely sure about the politicalm orientation of ethnic Germans in Yugoslavoa, but after the Germany World war II occupation, many cooperated with the NAZIs.
