COVER

Hutterite Grist Mill, Velke Levare, Slovakia, 1935.  Oil painting by Hutterite descendent Heinrich Bartosik.  Photograph courtesy of Henry J. Bartosik.  Most members of the Velke Levare Hutterite Community converted to Catholicism in the mid-18th century but they continued to live semi-communally as a  separate German-speaking ethnic group called Habaner, until World War I.  This oil painting was done by Heinrich Bartosik one year after he immigated to the United States.  In May 2005 the painting was donated to a museum in Malacky, Slovakia, which holds a  large Hutterite archival collection.
