Die Wolgadeutschen Unsere Leute

by Gary Leikam

This book is the first of a two volume set, which together, tell the epic story of die Wolgadeutschen (the Volga Germans), from both a big picture and small picture perspective. This volume, Unsrer Leute (Our People), relates the broad, overall story of the Volga German people and their place in history. It is a compelling saga in its own right, but it also provides the historical backdrop and context for the personal family stories told in the companion volume, Unsere Familien (Our Families).
