The Myriad Chronicles
INTRODUCTION
Author De Balliel-Lawrora Provides an Honest Look Into The
Events At The End of the Second World War
Discover The Other Side of the Story: What Happened To
The Germans After The War
North Bergen, New Jersey and Bloomington, Indiana: The
atrocities committed in relation to the Second World War did not
end with the surrender of Germany; in fact, many innocent, non-
combatant Germans experienced their own torment after
hostilities had ceased. These stories are brought to light in
Johannes Rammund De Balliel-Lawrora’s documentary book "The
Myriad Chronicles". De Balliel-Lawrora rehashes the
expulsions, after-war tragedies that confronted the nation, the
treatment of German prisoners of war, and the enforcement of the
Morgenthau Plan and the Benés decrees regarding the mass
murders of over two million citizens in his new book.
Most of the world’s population, including the Germans, did not
know what happened to the civilians and combatant Germans
after the war. There were internment camps for Germans and
German-Americans, the expulsion of ethnic Germans from their
hereditary homelands, torture, rape, and murder of innocent
women and children, and the inhumane treatment of more than
one million Eight Hundred Thousand German prisoners of war that
were starved to death in direct violation of the Hague, Geneva and
other conventions. The majority of Germans were unaware of
what the National Socialists did while they were in power; and less
than 1% of the population of the German Reich were Nazis. This
book is not meant to single out the individuals behind these
atrocities, but rather, to bring to light the truth that most individuals
are ignorant of.
De Balliel-Lawrora presents an honest documentary that offers
clarity, reality and truth to people of all ethnicities and nationalities.

About the Author:
Mr. De Balliel-Lawrora was born in Jersey City, New Jersey in
1926; his Prussian-German grandparents raised him, and his first
language was German. He is a true survivor having been a victim
of two debilitating diseases while he was still an infant. A product
of the Jersey City school system, beginning at the A. Harry Moore
School for Crippled Children and then attending the Snyder and
Dickenson High Schools, he went on to
Jersey Preparatory School, also in Jersey City, but due to ill
health, finally achieved a G.E.D. High School Diploma. At 17 he
went to work on a North Dakota farm to correct one of his later
health tribulations, because medicine had no affect on his illness,
but the dry climate in North Dakota did. He then resided in the
German section of Milwaukee, Wisconsin for one and a half years,
where he worked on several jobs. At 23 he moved to Denver,
Colorado for two years, where he was treated for arthritis, and he
also lived and worked for Spears Chiropractic Hospital. He also
became a patient advocate at the institution.
When he moved back to Jersey City, he took course-work at Saint
Peter’s College in Jersey City and later on at the Hudson County
Community College, where he studied health science. In addition
to his employment in New Jersey and New York, he learned many
forms of office procedures, and thus became proficient in
bookkeeping, payroll, purchasing, secretarial and managerial
procedures, including electronic typewriters, graphotype,
addressograph, and also taught himself computers, where his
proficiency allowed him to operate a Computer School for ten
years. All his training started while he was still in the early
twenties, until he retired in 2001. On June 16, 1962 he married
Elsie Adelheidi Gakstetter, and this year they celebrated their 48th
wedding anniversary.
From 1953 to the present he became an officer of numerous
German societies, including the Federation of American Citizens of
German Descent, Plattduetsche Volksfest-Vereen of New York
and New Jersey, Steinauer Club, Ritterhuder Verein, Verein der
Unterweser-orte, and the Union Hill Turn Verein. In 1999 the
Plattduetsche Volksfest-Vereen who honored him at a testimonial
dinner, for his dedication and devotion to the German-American
community. After tirement in 2001, he moved with his wife into the
Fritz Reuter Altenheim Continuous Care Retirement Community.
During his relationship with the German community, he was the
press secretary of the P.V.V., Steuben Parade, 37th Northeastern
Singing Federation, and other organizations. He was the Founder
and Administrator of the Northern New Jersey School of the
German Language in 1966, which he operated for over 20 years;
the co-chairperson of the Little Miss Schuetzen Park Beauty
Pageant since 1966 to the present. In 2003 he founded the
German-American World Historical Society, for which he still
maintains their website - www.gawhs.org.
In the past, Mr. De Balliel-Lawrora was the English editor for Dee
Eekboom newspaper (the official organ of the P.V.V.), and the
German-American World Newspaper, and Public Relations
Director of America’s Oberammergau Passion Play at the Park
Theatre, Union City, NJ from 1969 to 1982.
In October 2009, tired of the lies during World War I, World War
II, and after, against the German nation and people of German
extraction, he began writing a book "The Myriad Chronicles",
which he completed and published on May 2010.
