The Big Pond #30: Milwaukee’s German Heritage




The Big Pond show

Summary: Milwaukee has been called the most German city in America - already in the 1840s, large numbers of Germans who were fleeing wars in Europe began settling in the city. In this episode of The Big Pond, our producer Carole Zimmer explores the experience of these first generation German immigrants and looks at how the city has changed for a younger generation in the way that they relate to German culture.
