Topic — The Disappearance of German-Americans

Speaker — Dr. Jeremy Best

During the 1800s, nearly 6 million Germans immigrated to the United States. Many of them settled in Iowa and lively German-speaking communities emerged in every county of the state, proudly declaring their heritage. Where did they go? Dr. Jeremy Best will offer a presentation explaining why so many Iowans' German ancestors "disappeared."
