Hi, Does anyone on this list know of a few good books about the German immigrant experience? I've read, Homeland, by John Jakes and enjoyed it. It seems there are hundreds out there about the Irish and Ireland. I love them. But would like to read about Germany and Germans other than World War II. I've looked on the web. Thanks for any suggestions. Maxine Capezza

For bits of every nationality and the immigrant experience, I picked up a book a couple of years ago at Barnes and Noble. "Ellis Island Interviews--Immigrants Tell Their Stories in Their Own Words" by Peter Morton Coan. It is fascinating because it tells the story of the old country, the journey to a port, the ship experience, and what happened once in America.
