5.0 out of 5 stars
New research about the German-American community,
This review is from: German Chicago: The Danube Swabians and the American Aid Societies (Images of America: Illinois) (Paperback)
This book was created mostly by the people who survived the Expulsion. Much material gathered in this book has never been made public in America.It is must reading for survivors and their children, at the least.
