Introduction
What this book is about:
The things that German immigrants brought with them, or created in America that remind them/connect them to Germany. The material culture is the focal point; during the planning phase we will focus on curators' explanations of history. During Phase 2 (implementation), the public will contribute to the project by bringing in objects from their own family's history.How to use the book:
