Dear fellow Gottscheers, John Tschinkel is the Anti-Gottscheer.He has the audacity to attack the very Gottscheers, who are the itellectuals of our Gottscheer community,who carry on the traditions,writings and poetry of Gottschee. Ludwig Kren is one of the few people living who can actually write in the Gottscheer language and he writes wonderful stories about his life in Gottschee written in the actual Gottscheer language.John Tschinkel is only concerned with the georaphical significance of Gottschee but he cannot understand that the surviving Gottscheers are what Gottschee is all about they carry on the culture. As long as there are people who continue to learn and gain knowledge about the history and traditions of our people there will always be a Gottschee in this world. Our seperation from the geographical Gottschee is only temporary with the new democratic Gottschee our rights that were taken away at the end of world war one will be restored and we may actually be able to buy property and live in Gottschee again.The Gottscheers who have been living in Gottschee and never left can now rejoice in their new freedom and and do not have to hide their Gottscheer-German background (they actually had to change their names to avoid prosecution because of the communist AVNOJ law decrees).Today with the help of the Gottscheer intellectuals our culture is being revitalized in the publications of the various Gottscheer groups who have united under the "Arbeits Gemeinschaft",although we are scattered around the globe ,we are now one people.
