University of Winnipeg program issues call for stories about German immigrant fathers and their Canadian-born sons
German-Canadian Studies at the University of Winnipeg seeks published and unpublished memoirs, biographies, diaries, letters, and other documents that focus on German immigrant fathers and their Canadian-born sons for its Father-and-Son project.
The project explores the relationships between fathers and sons throughout the 20th and 21st centuries in English and French-speaking Canada. It asks how their relationships evolved during periods of dramatic change, such as the Great Depression, the Second World War, and the Cold War.
Project researchers are building an understanding of the realities of German migration during the 20th and 21st centuries, as told by the people who lived it.
