This book, by history and photograph, recipe and anecdote, recounts the lately forgotten story of the Germans in Milwaukee and the profound influence these German-speaking immigrants and their descendants had upon the dynamic city of today. Author Trudy Knauss Paradis, with the assistance of E.J. Brumder, beautifully sets forth this extraordinary history; from the early German-speaking arrivals to Milwaukee County in the 1830s, to the vibrant "German Athens on Lake Michigan" which these immigrants and their children created, to the suppression of German identity following the two World Wars, to the renaissance of German ancestral pride of today. Together, Ms. Knauss Paradis, Director-in-Charge of Cultural Exhibition for German Fest Milwaukee and a child of German-born immigrants; and Mr. Brumder, local historian and scion of the Brumder German-language publishing empire, provide a well-rounded view of not only what it has meant and still means to be "German" in Milwaukee, but also an insightful portrayal of an often brilliant, culturally vibrant and always industrious community which has enriched Milwaukee at every conceivable level.

German Milwaukee,

This review is from: German Milwaukee: It's History- It's Recipes (Hardcover)
This is a lovely book, with great photos, accurate history, and fine and interesting recipes. Unfortunately the German language citations have lots of errors....and by the way, in your (AMAZON) listing of the title, there should not be any apostrophes .....

This review is from: German Milwaukee: It's History- It's Recipes (Hardcover)
As a Milwaukee resident with German roots, I better understood my heritage from this book. I remembered my grandmother cooking many of these recipes. Since I also teach local history, many parts were useful to my students as well such as sections on the Civil War, Miller and Usingers. Many of the photos were ones I hadn't seen in other books. A great keepsake.
