Our next presentation in the Great War Series will be by Sarah Craig on March 24, at 7:00 pm in Twomey Auditorium. Based on research for her Master's Thesis in the Department of History and Anthropology, "The Hun in the Heartland: Anti-German Sentiment in Missouri During World War I" will focus on local experiences and reactions to World War I.
Join us and discover how three German communities in Missouri--Cole Camp, Concordia, and Hermann--survived the strains of anti-German sentiment during World War I. By analyzing the local newspapers in these communities from 1912-1919 we are able to gain a sense of how German-Americans in Missouri viewed themselves and their patriotism before, during, and after the Great War, as well as how external forces influenced changes in their communities.
