Kriegsweihnacht- War Christmas
I have attempted to present videos offering the music and feeling of WW2 Christmases in Germany. It is, as you might imagine, very difficult to find films that are not extremely propaganda oriented. Those presented here are more oriented to the music and mood of the time and less towards the propaganda, which is what I seek to portray here. If you know of films and music that are available for use, please let me know where to locate them and I will add them.

Genealogy Song #1
Genealogy theme songs? While seeking a song on Youtube, I came across song that seems apropos to the genealogist and the search. […] And I took you by the hand And we stood tall, And remembered our own land, What we lived for. And there will come a time, you’ll see, with no more tears. And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears. […] I hope you enjoy this as much as I do.
