Many older Germans, including eight of the directors’ parents, were either refugees or lived in Germany before, during, and after World War II. These forefathers have rich stories to tell and unless we begin capturing these stories, they will be lost forever. https://www.vivabavaria.org/germandaycleveland daily 0.75 2022-07-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622236788c455f17b351cdee/56fbc9e0-e1d3-47d3-a1e6-4334aefccdfd/32803950_840903886238_3292048374609477632_n.jpeg German Day Cleveland In 1983, President Ronald Reagan proclaimed October 6 as German-American Day to celebrate and honor the 300th anniversary of German immigration to and culture in the United States.
