Growing Up German Russian II, A Radio Series

"Growing Up German Russian II: A Radio Series” is a collection of narratives gleaned from the oral histories collection of the Dakota Memories Oral History Project.

The 3-6 minute narratives air in the “Dakota Datebook” time slot various weekdays at 7:33 a.m., 3:50 p.m., 6:30 p.m. and 7:50 p.m. beginning in March, 2008, and continuing through mid-May.

Jessica Clark, project coordinator, explained that these interviews are designed to preserve the precious history and heritage of Germans from Russia on the Northern Plains. The radio series is part of a larger project that will record numerous narratives for study and archiving. The project is sponsored by Prairie Public, the German from Russia Heritage Collection and the North Dakota State University Libraries.
