The original Lutheran bible of Hrastovac, that the family Fehir brought in 1969 to Weiskirchen, where it is kept in the archives of the Lutheran Church.
The Hrastovac Bible, now in Weiskirchen, Hesse, was donated back in 1929 to newly erected Hrastovac church by the Croatia Lutheran community in Sisak, Croatia. Photo curtesy of Anna Bialleck.
