Ukraine, one of 7 chil·
dren of Heinrich and
Helena Thiessen. At 5,
she lost her father. At
15, she accepted
Christ. She studied to
be a midwife, but
stopped her studies
because she refused to

teachings. In 1933 she
married Jacob Janzen.

were forced to flee. Jacob died in prison.
Weak and ill after
childbirth, she was excused from farm

assigned to office

Peter Braun. In 1943
they fled to the West,
but she became sepa·
rated from Peter and
her family. They were
reunited in Germany.
They married in 1946.
In 1948 they went to
Paraguay. Here they
were baptized. Daugh·
ters Elfrieda and Hed·
wig were born. In

nosed with breast,

ceased by Jacob and a

dren Frank, Helene,
