{"product_id":"germans-of-waterloo-region-9781989048092","title":"Germans of Waterloo Region","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe scope of this Oral History Project is to collect the life stories of German-speaking immigrants to Canada by conducting biographic interviews with members of the German-Canadian community (immigrants from German-speaking central Europe as well as their descendants) who have ties to Waterloo Region of south-western Ontario, Canada. The interviews were video-recorded, transcribed, and the information gathered presented in two distinct ways. The initial presentation is a book which would contain individual community members' recollections of their immigration and settlement experiences. These accounts are embedded within the larger, historical context. The book chapters focus on a variety of migration-related topics, such as life before immigration to Canada, the immigration experience, life after arrival in Canada, work experience, language, and maintaining social and cultural heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLCSH: Germans--Ontario--Waterloo (Regional Municipality)--History--1938-2011 LCSH: Germans--Ontario--\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWaterloo (Regional Municipality)--Social conditions--1938-2011 LCSH: Waterloo (Ont.: Regional municipality)--\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEmigration and immigration--1938-2011 LCGFT: Oral histories\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface: Changing Times!..................................................................................1\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWalter Stechel\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Oral History Project....................................................................................3\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eElizabeth Wendy Milne and Mathias Schulze\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe History of Waterloo Region........................................................................9\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eElizabeth Wendy Milne and Mathias Schulze\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMennonites......................................................................................................20\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChristine Kampen Robinson and Nikolai Penner\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey Came from South-eastern Europe.........................................................32\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLori Straus and Emma Betz\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey Came from East-central Europe .............................................................47\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStephanie Cooper and Sebastian Siebel-Achenbach\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey Came from Germany and Austria ..........................................................58\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStefanie Templin and Sebastian Siebel-Achenbach\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIllustrations......................................................................................................69\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArrival in Canada.............................................................................................87\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJudith Linneweber and Harald Bauder\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEarning a Living ...............................................................................................98\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRyan Carroll and Grit Liebscher\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWho Are We? .................................................................................................110\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlissa Melitzer, Natasa Nuhanovič, and Paul Malone\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow to Build a Canadian Bird with Feathers from Across the Sea.............120\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMelanie Wei \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConnecting with the Old Country ................................................................134\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLisa M.
