the Lutheran Church. Sometime priorto January 1882 Peter met a Baptist Missionay and was baptized as anadult and accepted into the congregation of the Baptist Church in Slobodaon January 5, 1882. On May 12, 1887 he moved to Neudorf in Heimtal where he was
teaching German and Russian in a school, and at the same timewas studying to become a lawyer. He had a family of seven sons and twodaughters. He served as a lay pastor in the Neudorf Church and with his son David, hid the church records within the church when it was closedby the Communists. He had four sons in America, As an educated person hecouldn't get a permission to emigrate so he chose to flee across thePolish border. He was arrested and died in a Polish Prison in about 1921.
The following was received from Don Miller, of Hillsboro, Washington andis a letter received by the Editors of "Der Hausfreund" from PeterIttermann. It was translated into english by Dr. Willi Wiesner, a friendBelieved to be published in about 1910.
FROM NEUDORF. Dear Hausfreund! Through an unknown person, I was sentthe "Posaune" of the Abendlichter for six months. I read many beautifulthings in it but also found a complaint against you, Hausfreund, that you tell so little of experiences with God
and of God's healing. Then Ithought: no, it is not the Hausfreund's fault but, rather, the fault ofthe readers of the Hausfreund, for they tell him so little of thesethings. Therefore, I would like to share something with the dear Hausfreund about what
God has done for me and how he has heard my prayer, even though it might not be in the same vein as the "Posaune" wouldpresent it.
My dear wife was recently deathly ill. The first physician I broughtsaid that I should get her to the Red Cross as soon as possible and letthem operate on her, for she had an unlcer in her body. Then I drove her to Shitomir to a physician and he said
that an operation wasimpossible because it was on the left side, close to the heart, and thatit was cancer. So I went to 5 physicians and each one diagnosed a
different illness but was unable to provider help. We had to wait twelvedays in order to get a precise
diagnosis. after the time had passed, the determination was: no helpwas possible. Then I asked the physicians what I should do because thepain was so severe. I was given a prescription of 0.42 morphine for her to drink and 25.0 Chloroform to be
brushed in the affected area so thatahe would not feel any pain. So that is what I did. I drove home andapplied the prescription and home remedies. After 10 days I returned tothe physician in the hospital and there I received the final verdict: nohelp!
As the pain was getting ever more severe, I turned to God in prayer andpleaded for help. The midwife had my wife lie on straw on the floor soothat she would die more quickly. I ran into the field and cried to God, promising Him I would accept Him and
submit myself to Him with all myheart and I asked Him to have mercy on myself and my five children. Iwas a schoolmaster and, as I prayed like this, I preceived a voice in myheart that said loudly: I should bring her into a sweat and she would live. And
so I did this. Later, after the physician sat by her bed, heasked to be driven away and he said to the driver: Bid farewell to theLehrerin for in two days she will be dead. Then he came and told me the same. I ran to the chapel and cried to God that he
should have mercy onme and my children. Then came a voice that told me to give her 2 spoonsof castor-oil and then she would become well, and so it happened.
And, as I again peladed with God to have mercy on me and on her and tosave her, a voice came into my heart as before: I should go home andgive her no medicine, rather, only sweet milk to drink. Praise be to God! Even when doubts sometimes plague me, I no longer needed to useanaesthetics and my wife became better every day, so that now she thanksGod with me that she was made well without an operation.

Information provided by Donald Miller from "In the Midst of Wolves" aboutthe Neudorf Church.
It is this church that German interest in music received its highestexpression. In addition to its singing choir and "Pasaunerchor" (brasschoir) it had a choir of stringed instruments. In June 1908 the area Baptists held a "Posaunenfest" (Brass Band
Festival" in Neudorf withJoseph Ittermann directing. There were over 5,000 in attendance. It wassuch a sucess that another festival was held shortly thereafter inSorotschin. The occasion drew together approximately eighty-five brass players from Sorotschin, Horoschek and Rudkowski Futter. The directorwas again Joseph Ittermann.
Joseph Ittermann studied music professionaly in Germany, composed hisowon music and developed a reputation for being very precise, orderly anddemanding. He travelled all over the Union, including Siberia, conducting training classes for song directors and
band leaders. In addition toJoseph Ittermann, David Goertz (Gorz) was a director od several choralgroups in Neudorf. I has been said that the instruments from one of thebands was buried on the church grounds under a tree so that the communists wouldn't get
them.
The Neudorf Church was one of about a dozen large churches whosemembership extended to other villages. Smaller congregations inneighboring villages became preaching points or Bethauser (Prayer Chapels). In addition, there were house churches. In various
times in itshistory, Neudorf had as many as thirty stations.
New information received from Don Miller, (retired Baptist Pastor andTour Leader for for Tours to the Ukraine in search of information abouttheir families.) that the KGB files had been opened up in Zhitomir.
and provided the following information.
Josef Ittermann, baptist leader of orchestra, wife Katherina, born 1874.father Michael, relativr Magdalena Burgshether, lived with them. Arrestedtwo times. 1st time May 21, 1834. Accused of spreading fascist propaganda in Neudorf under Article 54-10, also
for having connections with Germany.In addition, he contacted the German Consulate in Kiev. He had fivebrothers who immigrated to US before his arrest, also two brothers andone sister who moved to Germany before the revolution, but sentence was suspended.
He was arrested the 2nd time January 8, 1935 for havingconnections with Pastor Goetz and Pastor Schmidgall. He spread moneyreceived from Goetz among the colonists, spread Fascist propaganda and corresponded with foreigners. He has a very respected father,
a teacherand farmer. On January 10th 1935, his documents were sent to the KGB. TheKGB asked higher authorities to send him and his family to Siberia forthree years of hard labor at the Belomer-White Sea Canal. They agreed. On March 21, 1935, his case was
stopped due to insufficient evidence.Sentence was suspended, with the warning that if there was an infractionof the law, he would be sent away. Was set free, but his fate is unknown.It appears he was sent to the gulag anyway. Or executed.
The above confirmed by my visit to the Ukraine in May 2003. Have a copyof his trial and interrogation and sentence. He was collecting money tobuy food to give to the starving people of his congregation during the enforced famine. He was a leader and elder
of the baptists in the Neudorfarea that were working on the collective farms.
