Produktinformationen zu „Burning Beethoven (ePub)“
Burning Beethoven explores how a flourishing culture in America was wiped out by an eruption of anti-German hysteria during World War I, when excessively patriotic Americans eradicated the German language from schools, churches, libraries, and newspapers. Germans made up the biggest, proudest, and most successful ethnic group but became targets of hate, and sometimes victims of tarring and feathering—even vigilante hangings. Zealous Americans slaughtered dachshunds and renamed sauerkraut “liberty cabbage”—the “freedom fries” of that era. This book sheds light on a dark chapter of American history.
Autoren-Porträt von Erik Kirschbaum, Herb Stupp
ERIK KIRSCHBAUM, born 1960 in New York City, began learning German as a high school student.

He also wrote for newspapers in the United States before moving to Berlin to work as a foreign correspondent. He has been writing for the Reuters international news agency since 1990.
