To survey the history of many German-Russians, Paul Koehler of St. Joseph, Michigan has put together a presentation called The German Brotherhood: 276 Years of History from the Volga River in Russia, USA, Canada, South America and Siberia.
As the title suggests, ours is a far-reaching history and one that will be examined in many different ways during the International Convention of Germans from Russia. The event runs from July 28 through August 3 at the Parkway Plaza Hotel and Convention Center in Casper, Wyoming. It is a joint gathering of the Germans from Russia Heritage Society and the American Historical Society of Germans from Russia.
