SUMMARY:Treffen Tuesday
DESCRIPTION:April – Lena Wolf\, “A graphic novel ‘May the Universe be Your Home!’ about the fate of German families in the Soviet Union” \nPresentation: \nIn her presentation Lena will show the coloured pages from her upcoming graphic novel\, which hopefully will be available by the end of 2023. Those of you fortunate to attend the 2022 Treffen Tuesday presentation will recall the story of the deportation and how Lena learned of her heritage. This is a continuation of that family history. \nAttached below is a page from her graphic novel which depicts German speaking people leaving Russia for North-and South America. Lena’s family stayed behind in the Soviet Union and the graphic novel is their story. \nBiography: \nLena Wolf was born in Latvia and grew up in Kazakhstan and later in Germany. Her parents are Germans from the Russian Empire. \nHer grandparents along with her parents\, who were very young\, were deported from German-speaking villages in Ukraine to Kazakhstan in 1941. They were put into special settlements and had to live there until December 1955\, 10 years after the end of WWII. They had no rights and were not allowed to leave the special settlements. Leaving their settlement resulted in severe punishment\, up to execution. \nEscaping the special settlement is exactly what Lena’s grandma Josephine did. Josephine wanted to go back to her village in Ukraine. She took her young son Adam with her\, Lena’s father. They were arrested and Josephine was sentenced to 20 years of hard labor in the Gulag\, Vorkuta\, located 150 km north of the artic circle. Lena’s father was sent to a Ukrainian orphanage. \nThis is just one of the stories that made Lena want to write the graphic novel about the Germans from Russia\, people who stayed behind in the Soviet Union. She wants the world to know what happened to our people.

SUMMARY:AHSGR Book Club: The Last Green Valley
DESCRIPTION:Join us in a book club discussing of The Last Green Valley by best-selling author Mark Sullivan. Mark will be speaking at the AHSGR Convention in Greeley\, Colorado.\n\nThe Last Green Valley is a work of historical fiction\, inspired by a true story.

But after already living under Stalin’s horrifying regime\, Emil and Adeline decide they must run in retreat from their land with the wolves they despise to escape the Soviets and go in search of freedom. Caught between two warring forces and overcoming horrific trials to pursue their hope of emigrating to the West\, the Martels’ story is a brutal\, complex\, and ultimately triumphant tale that illuminates the extraordinary power of love\, faith\, and one family’s incredible will to survive and see their dreams realized.\n\nRegister for book club here: Last Green Valley Book Club Sign Up\n\nMore information about convention here: AHSGR 2023 Convention

SUMMARY:Treffen Tuesday
DESCRIPTION:May – Dr. Eric J. Schmaltz\, “Our Memories Build Our Future: Germans from Russia Still on the Move in the 21st Century” \nPresentation: \nThis presentation is based on the banquet talk given at the 2022 AHSGR International Convention held in Lincoln\, Nebraska.   It reflects on the group’s history\, including “The Double Stigma” as Germans and Russians during the two world wars and Cold War period\, and its overcoming of occasional adversity in the new homelands.  It also considers the group’s global success story in many fields of endeavor.  It concludes about the ways in which the group has reached an inflection point\, “coming full circle” at this time in its development\, and reflects on where German from Russia descendants find themselves today. \nBiography: \nEric J. Schmaltz earned a Ph.D. in History at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 2002.  Since 2005\, he has taught Mod­ern European\, American\, and World History at Northwestern Oklahoma State University in Alva and in 2019 began serving as Departmental Chair of Social Sciences. In 2014\, he received the John Barton Distinguished Teaching and Service Award at his university and has been nominated for it on four other occasions.  His research concentrates on Modern Germany and Modern Russia with an emphasis on ethnic and nationality issues\, as well as German migration topics. \nOver the past three decades\, he has contributed a variety of articles and translations to AHSGR\, GRHS\, and the North Dakota State University Libraries in Fargo and has given frequent public talks both at home and abroad.  His other articles and reviews have appeared in local newspapers\, magazines\, interdisciplinary journals\, and major international edited volumes.  From 2010 to 2020\, he served as editor of the GRHS Heritage Review quarterly.  Since 2008\, he has served on the AHSGR Journal’s editorial board as well.  He is also co-founder and co-director of the endowed Northwestern Oklahoma State University Institute for Citizenship Studies and since 2021 is the Donovan L.

SUMMARY:Treffen Tuesday
DESCRIPTION:June – Dr. Mila Koretnikov\, “Tracing Our Volga-German Heritage: A Comparative Look at Tours to Ancestral Village in Germany and Russia” \nPresentation: \nIn 2016-2019 the Volga German Tour group – Dr. Mila Koretnikov\, Sergey Koretnikov and Dr. Brent Mai\, took approximately 250 people from the USA\, Canada\, and Argentina on tours to the Volga German Colonies of their ancestors in Russia.  Although they planned to expand the tours to Siberia\, the current situation in Russia made it impossible to do so. \nPeople continued to ask about future travel and the Volga German Tour group decided to take interested people to their ancestral homes\, their German origin homes\, in Germany.  In 2022-2023 forty-four people visit their villages of origin in Germany. \nAlthough Mila and her group thought that the tours would be very different from the tours to Russia\, they were in for a surprise.  What they found was that the trips to villages in Russia and Germany were more similar than expected. \nJoin us on June 27\, at 2:30 pm as Dr. Mila Koretnikov shares the similarities and differences they found doing numerous tours to both Russia and Germany. \nBiography: \nDr. Mila Koretnikov is a lecturer and coordinator of the Technical English program at the University of Applied Sciences in Karlsruhe\, Germany\, and a lecturer in intercultural communication at the Cooperative University of Baden-Wuerttemberg in Karlsruhe\, Germany. \nDr. Koretnikov grew up in Saratov\, Russia in a Volga-German family and holds degrees from Saratov State University. She did her post-doc study at the University of Wyoming and taught summer courses for K-12 teachers at Otero Junior College\, La Junta\, Colorado. \nMila Koretnikov has been doing research in Russian archives for more than 20 years helping hundreds of individuals from the USA\, Germany\, Argentina\, Brazil\, and Canada find information on their ancestors. In 2016-2019 together with Dr. Brent Mai she led tours to Volga-German ancestral villages in Russia and starting with 2022 – to Volga-German ancestral villages in Germany. \nShe has lived in Germany since 2006.

SUMMARY:Treffen Tuesday
DESCRIPTION:October – Maggie Hein\, “Is This Really My Ancestor?” \nPresentation: \nAre you using genealogy web sites to research your Germans from Russia ancestors?  Is your family tree online?  The big genealogy web sites (Ancestry\, Family Search\, My Heritage) can be wonderful tools for locating records and making connections to your ancestors.  They can also offer you misleading\, unproven and false information.  How do you sort out the good information from the bad?  What is unique about Germans from Russia research that results in so little accurate data online? \nIn this presentation we will talk about how to assess the accuracy of the genealogy data you find online.  We will discuss what records the big web sites have and more importantly what records they don’t have.  We will talk about the reliability of different types of sources and how to steer clear of unproven data.  The goal of this presentation is to give you the information you need to confidently use these web sites and accurately document your family history. \nBiography: \nMaggie Hein is a volunteer AHSGR Village Coordinator for the Volga German village of Frank. She is one of the administrators of the Volga Germans web site (www.volgagermans.org). Maggie’s genealogy research focuses on Germans who migrated to Russia in 1766 to settle in the lower Volga River region. She has used German church records to document hundreds of the German families who settled in Volga German Villages between 1763 and 1773\, identifying previously unknown origin locations for many families. When she isn’t doing genealogy research\, she is a tax accountant and co-owner of a CPA firm in the Chicago suburbs.

SUMMARY:Treffen Tuesday
DESCRIPTION:Presentation\nMarilyn will share updates regarding the Ukraine/Russian war. She has a Murray Method International Center in Ukraine and also one in Russia\, so she is in constant contact with her colleagues/friends in both countries. She will share their personal responses regarding the current war crisis. \nPhotos and videos from her colleagues in Ukraine will be shown. \nBiography\nRecognized internationally as an educator\, theorist\, author\, and psychotherapist\, Marilyn was a pioneer in the treatment of trauma\, abuse and deprivation\, and their correlation with addictions. She began creating and teaching her Murray Method theory and treatment modalities starting in 1983. She has taught her method for universities in the US and internationally with students from 40 countries. \nFrom 2002 to 2018\, she lived and worked nearly half-time in Russia where she presented her method to over 4\,000 health professionals and clergy in the former USSR. She also has been a guest professor at major Russian universities including Moscow State University. There are Murray Method International Centers in Russia\, Ukraine\, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. \nHer paternal grandparents were born in small villages near Saratov and immigrated to America.

Marilyn has visited her family villages numerous times and has a special love for this country. She also has cousins in Siberia and other parts of Russia. \nShe has been a life member of AHSGR since 1998 and has shared her knowledge of Russia at several AHSGR conventions. \nwww.murraymethod.com \nRegister Here
