Report on a conference held at the German Historical Institute, September 26-28, 2002. “After 1945, Germans and Americans, both Jewish and gentile, encountered each other and had to deal with the past of the Second World War and the Holocaust in a variety of sites and situations in Germany and the United States. Most often, the encounters were located in and shaped by the transatlantic experiences of emigration, exile, occupation, return, exchange, and immigration. Gender and generation shaped these encounters as much as time and place.. Sixteen scholars from Germany, the United States, and Canada focused on such personal encounters in public and private and at different levels of society, and on the effects of these encounters on individuals and societies at large. The majority of papers examined encounters between Germans, Jews, and Americans in postwar West Germany and focused their attention on contemporary debates about Germans’ ability to overcome Nazism. Other papers looked at more recent times or settings in the United States, exploring everyday encounters and constructions of memory, traditions, and sites of encounter.”

Jacobson, Cynthia. “West Prussians to Big Rapids, Michigan.” Germanic Genealogy Journal, vol. 6, no. 4, Winter 2003, pp. 18.
“In an almost classic chain migration from 1873 to 1893, a group of West Prussians from Kreis Rosenberg and Kreis Merienwerder immigrated to Big Rapids, Mecosta County, Michigan….For twenty-seven crucial years, Pastor [Ernest George] Franck recorded the baptisms, confirmations, marriages, and burials of his ever-growing immigrant congregation in neat, legible script. Not only did he record the vital statistics, but he also included in a marriage record the maiden name of the mother and the birthplace of the bride and groom–even the tiniest village in parish.”

Kersten, Holger. “The Creative Potential of Dialect Writing in Later-Nineteenth-Century America.” Nineteenth-Century Literature, vol. 55, no. 1, June 2000, pp. 92-117.
Holger argues for more favorable evaluations of those texts produced from the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries that, to achieve their literary effects, availed themselves of the expressive potential inherent in unconventional language use. Written by authors such as Finley Peter Dunne, Charles Godfrey Leland, Thomas A. Daly, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Alexander Posey and others—names rarely listed in standard literary histories—these texts derived their appeal from the way they used language but also from the perspective their linguistic strategy created. Their linguistic virtuosity, their potential value as documents of folklore and linguistic diversity, and their significance in the development toward alternative forms of literary expression make them an unusual treasure in America’s literary heritage.

———. “Using the Immigrant’s Voice: Humor and Pathos in Nineteenth Century ‘Dutch’ Dialect Texts.” MELUS (The Society for the Study of the Multi-Ethnic Literature of the United States), vol. 21, Winter 1996, pp. 3-17.
“Dialect writing that set out to imitate the speech of immigrants has usually been excluded from scholarly scrutiny on the basis of the assumption that this form of expression was nothing but a stock dialect invented to denigrate the foreigner…. A close look at some selected writers and their subject matter makes it clear that, on the contrary, they usually had a lot of sympathy, if not high regard, for their protagonists and the national group they stood for.” Examines the character of “Carl Pretzel,” created by journalist Charles H. Harris; anthologies of Dutch dialect anecdotes, songs, skits, and speeches, most intended for recitation; actors who played German-American characters, including Joseph Emmet and George S. Knight; and the poems of Charles Follen Adams, who created “Yawcob Strauss” and other German dialect characters.

Maldonado, Sigrid. “Migrations to Russia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, USA, Canada, and Argentina.” Germanic Genealogy Journal, vol. 6, no. 4, Winter 2003, pp. 20-21.
“The Degen, Sebald, and Schmidt families from Bavaria immigrated to many countries over the period from 1850 to 1990. Johann Jakob Ludwig Degen (1754-1834) and his wife Maria Sophia Bleckholm (1774-1856) had seven children. This article follows the paths of two of those children and their descendants.”

“‘Bambi is a delicious book…. Felix Salten is a poet. He feels nature deeply, and he loves animals…. It is the triumph of this book that, behind the conversation, one feels the real sensations of the creatures who speak. Clear and illuminating, and in places very moving, it is a little masterpiece.’ In the blending of description, narrative, and conversation, the idiomatic dialogue is a prominent characteristic of the style, giving it a vividness, a simplicity and a lightness not often met with in a German text.” Donated by David M.
