Anna (Wiens) Rempel, grandmother of Elfrieda
Anna (Wiens) Rempel, grandmother of Elfrieda (Gossen) Dyck, was a teacher and principal of a large kindergarten in Halbstadt. Anna’s husband Dietrich was taken away in 1941 with all the other men of the area. They were sent to Siberia where they died of hard labour and starvation. In 1941 to 1943 when the German army occupied the Ukraine, Anna continued her work as principal in the kindergarten. She was a very creative teacher and known for the plays she produced with young children, as illustrated here, where a number of the children are in costume. The children in the front row are in rabbit costumes. Another time she performed a play about the seven dwarfs with the kindergarten children (shown on another photo which Elfrieda also has). Anna also assisted the older students. Elfrieda remembers her grandmother helping her grade 8 class to perform shadow plays.
