Klara Ricter married Karl Burghardt somewhere around 1889. Klara and Karl were farmers in the small village of Glitt, Bukovina. They had eight children: Johanna, Marie, Josephine, Ludwig, Joseph, Carol, Rose and Louise. In 1913 daughter Marie immigrated to Canada to live with her sister Johanna who had immigrated before her.
In December of 1940 Karl and Klara were transported out of Romania by the German Army. Times had become rough for the Germans in Romainia. Older people were transported out first and the relocation began in November or December. Before they crossed the Romainian boarder Karl died. He was taken off the train at the next stop. It is not known where or if he was buried. Klara went on to a convent in or near Vienna, Austria where she stayed until her family arrived. Ludwig, Joseph arrived along with Joseph's son Horst, Rose's daughter Eleanor and Louise's daughter Zitta six years old. Once they arrived they would have to move from camp to camp, having no permanent home. Klara was needed to help look after her young grandchildren. The first three camps were in Czechoslovakia, North Germany then France. After the war was over they would move back to Germany eventually settling in a house in Langwieden. Klara, sixty years of age suffered from terrible arthritis in her knees. With three young children to care for, life was not easy for her.
