Heinrich Heinrichs (1899-1941) was one of the members of the Eichenfeld Selbstschutz. After being defeated, Heinrichs was on the run and hungry. He joined the White Army at the end of June 1918. On October 26th 1919, Anarchists murdered 80 people in Eichenfeld including Heinrich Heinrichs Sr. Heinrichs and members of the White Army fought their way to Constantinople where the American Mennonite Relief (AMR) organization, a precursor to Mennonite Central Committee, was helping the refugees. Among the influx of refugees aided by the AMR, were 62 Mennonites who had served in the White Army. Heinrich was among this group which became known as the “group of 62.” On August 3, 1921, they boarded a ship for the US. After some difficulty in the immigration process, Heinrichs was received by a Mennonite church in Lancaster Pennsylvania. Heinrichs was billeted and worked on a Mennonite farm where he earned enough money to pay his debts and start life anew.
