 Schönau,
today Dolina, was the home of Great-great grandparents
Kornelius Harms. It is one of those villages of which no sign of Mennonite
buildings remain -- nothing but the broad road lined with trees of unknown age.
Schönau lies on the western row of villages that parallel the Molotschna River.The
photograph below shows the view from outside Schönau, facing the west, to the bluffs on
the other side of the Molotschna River. In the wars that ravaged the area, those
bluffs were often the objective of various armies who could bombard these villages.
