[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Fwd: NYTimes: Whatever Happened to GermanAmerica?

[kaiser116 at aol.com]

Hello Richard and Helen,
 
I just checked Amazon.com for a copy of Panikos Panayi's "Germans as Minorities during the First World War". The used copies started at $92 U.S.! and a new copy was over $120! Ouch...that's a bit too rich for me.  I was, however, able to obtain a copy of 'Wolhynisches Tagebuch" at a very reasonable price from a seller in Germany. I eagerly await its delivery. Thank you so much Helen for sharing with me your copy of that title at the recent SGGEE convention in Ottawa. All the best to you and your dear mother; I think she alone was worth the trip I made there from New Hampshire!

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

Kurt Gillies

Helen's mention of the treatment of Germans during the World Wars reminded 
me
of a very interesting book I've run into recently called "Germans as 
Minorities
during the First World War. A Global Perspective," ed. by Panikos 
Panayi,
(Surrey, Ashgate Publishing, 2014).  It deals with what happened to 
Germans in
Britain, Belgium, Italy, Russia, the shores of the Aegean, North 
and South
America, South Africa, East Africa and New Zealand.  The 
similarities in
attitudes towards Germans are striking.  Highly recommended!

An interesting story about the
German populace in USA and generally North
America.  Similar treatments of
Germans in Canada took place during the
First and Second World Wars.  Austrians
were affected in the First. There
were internment camps in many places in the
Canadian West.

Anyone interested, I have links to internment camp
info.

OP-ED CONTRIBUTOR: Whatever Happened to German
America?

The country’s largest national ethnic group completely disappeared
from
its
culture.
