A further goal of our research efforts is the dissemination of this fascinating, but little explored chapter of German-American relations in the 20th century. In this section, you will find further information on events, publications and websites related to this story.

We hope that this information provides a first building block that will lead to a much more nuanced and sophisticated sense of how America’s struggle for democracy reverberated across the globe.
