For those of you who can read Shwovish, I highly recommend a site by Helen Alba. Like the Pennsylvania Dutch site it is called “von iwerdriwer” which roughly means ‘from over there” although it literally says “from across across”. Alba gives a nice cross section of Shwovish wit and humor and everyday life. http://www.lenauheim.de/vdr.html Alba’s brand of Shwovish is almost as different from my Kerneierish (Kernei Shwovish) as Pennsylvania Dutch is. In fact since my Shwenglish is closer to Pennsylvania Dutch, I can understand the Amish much more easily.

The founder (Milton S. Hershey) was PD if I'm recalling correctly (Mennonite). I got quite a kick out of the info on this tour - and remember how my mom said that was the biggest deal - getting a Hershey Choc. Bar from the American Red Cross when they were refugees in Austria.
