Ufnau An Island In Switzerland's Lake Zurich A Hamlet In The American State Of Texas, Martha Kumin-Jurt
Swiss American Historical Society Review
Ufnau Island is a wonderfully quiet place that has kept its uniqueness and unspoilt nature, withstanding the turmoils of time. In 965 AD, Emperor Otto the Great gave the island and other estates bordering Lake Zurich to the Benedictine Abbey of Einsiedeln. His wife, Empress Adelheid, was the grandchild of Reginlinde, the founder of the Ufnau church. We can assume that the Empress prompted her husband to make this donation.

What images make people think of the United States of America? Cowboys? The flag? And are there similar icons in other cultures that help define cultural identity? The National Imagination explores the concept of a national community as constructed and critiqued through literary and cinematic narratives, as well as other cultural texts.
Our underlying premise is that national languages and cultures promote the identity of particular communities. We are interested in examining those subjective expressions of culture—images, symbols, narratives—that lead people to feel that they are members of the communities we call nations. We are also interested in discovering points …

Founded by Şinasi Dikmen and Muhsin Omurcu in Ulm in 1985, Knobi-Bonbon is widely recognized as the first Turkish German cabaret in the Federal Republic. Dikmen and Omurcu focused on ethnic stereotypes, integration, and coexistence in their early programs, with an emphasis on the German misunderstanding of integration as cultural assimilation (Boran 202, 219). With a run of successful performances, Knobi-Bonbon established a momentum that has carried through to the present day, making Turkish German comedy a fixture on the German stage. Responding to the wave of nationalism and xenophobia that followed in the wake of unification, Knobi-Bonbon’s shows became …

The Reasons For This Book And How It Came To Be Published, Max Henius
The Bridge
The appearance of this little book has come about primarily because of the Danish-born Americans’ Festival in the Rebild Hills this year. We have for some time wished to assemble representatives from all Danish American camps and communities in these United States and to meet at one spot within our country of origin. This year, for the first time, we will have managed to do that, as it has become more and more clear how little those of us from the old country know about each other, because we live so far apart, and we are thus unable to understand …

The “Danish Folk Society” was established in the spring of 1887. On April 18 of that year a public invitation was issued for the establishment of the society, and from April 18 till April 21 this year the society celebrated its 25th anniversary here in Clinton, Iowa. The celebration took place at the location where the idea got its start and where the plans were laid.

The Danish Brotherhood In America, L. L. Ries
The Bridge
The Danish Brotherhood originally branched off from the “Danish Brothers in Arms,” which was established in Omaha in 1881. Already a few years before, some local groups of “Brothers in Arms” had been established here and there, by men who had participated in the wars of 1848 and 1864. What especially tied the members together was the desire for social get-togethers and to refresh memories from the war years and to give mutual assistance in case of illness.
