  • The Kansas Immigrants Ii
    THE KANSAS IMMIGRANTS II Division of Continuing Education andKANU The University of Kansas THE KANSAS IMMIGRANTS II The Division of Continuing Education KANU The University of Kansas The Kansas Immigrant Series was produced by the University of Kansas Division of Continuing Education and KANU radio with support from the Kansas Committee for the Humanities National Public Radio, and the National Endow'ment for the Humanities. Copyright 1981 The University of Kansas Cover Design Jan Morris and Charli Frederick The Kansas Immigrants II The Kansas Immigrants II follows the highly successful radio series The Kansas Immigrants. The material for this second-year series has been broadcast on radio programs and published as newspaper articles. This bound volume contains the newspaper articles, which differ slightly in to'rm and content from the radio version. A bound volume of scripts is also available for the first-year series. The radio programs for both series are available on audio- cassettes. The Kansas Immigrants II addresses a number of issues: the efforts of immigrants to assimilate to the larger society while attempting to maintain their own ethnic identity, the occasional violence in the meeting of different cultures in formerly homogeneous communities, and the problem of understanding different family values and lifestyles from one culture to another. It also examines the difficulties in preserving ethnic heritage; the oppre~sion, segregation, and exploitation of ethnic minorities; the contributions of ethnic groups to the arts and cuisine; and the role of the ethnic church or organization in nurturing its members. The first series dealt with immigration to Kansas prior to 1920; the second-year programs dip back in time to pick up a few early topics but concen- trate mainly on developments after 1920.

  • Comprehensive Plan
    CONCORDIA 2011 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Adopted August 3, 2011 Ordinance # 2011-3017 Steering Committee Steve Champlin Judie Deal Mike Gallagher Thea-Dora Lineberry LaDonna Peltier Dennis Smith Suzy Tuggle Planning Commission Secretary Bruno Rehbein Consultants Jim Kaup, Kaup & Shultz Wynndee Lee, AICP 8.05.11 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY An Overview to the Concordia 2011 Comprehensive Plan One primary purpose of this Comprehensive Plan is to provide a rational basis for zoning decisions, patterns of land use, and actions (both public and private) affecting the physical development of Concordia as well as its economic development. This Plan seeks to coordinate publicly-financed capital improvements, such as streets, sewers and water lines, with private development activities that produce homes and businesses. Another primary purpose of this Plan is to identify and articulate the needs and desires of the citizens of Concordia. While undertaking such a task is always challenging – and results are inherently subject to differing interpretations – this Plan enjoys the benefit of a lengthy survey completed by a significant percentage of citizens. These survey results – which are reported in detail throughout the text of the Plan – are supplemented by input from other sources from the community. That input – both fact and opinion – was reviewed and measured by the Concordia Planning Commission. This document is the workproduct of those two bodies, composed of citizens who are knowledgeable of their community’s past, its present, and who desire to convey and energize the possibilities for the future. This Comprehensive Plan, once it is adopted by the Concordia City Commission, is the City’s official policy guide for future development.

RESTORING THE LIGHT: MINISTRY TO GERMAN PRISONERS OF WAR IN AMERICA DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR Melissa Weldon Master of Arts degree in History University of Richmond 2003 Thesis Director: Professor John D. Treadway Abstract: In 1942, the United States committed itself to the retention of German prisoners of war on American soil. Over 350,000 German soldiers lived and worked in several hundred camps throughout the contiguous United States. These prisoners required not only food and shelter, but spiritual care as well. The Geneva Convention of 1929 granted prisoners of war the right to worship according to their faith. The United States government not only permitted, but also encouraged, ministry to the prisoners in its care. Relying on the assistance of international relief organizations and national church bodies, the Office of the Provost Marshal General arranged for Lutheran pastors and Catholic priests to counsel and minister to the captive Gennans.

  • Transnational Private Memories of German Prisoners of War in U.S
    “ON BEHALF OF MY COMRADES”: TRANSNATIONAL PRIVATE MEMORIES OF GERMAN PRISONERS OF WAR IN U.S. CAPTIVITY BY Andrea Weis Submitted to the graduate degree program in American Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ____________________________________ Chairperson Committee members ____________________________________ ____________________________________ ____________________________________ ____________________________________ Date defended: ______________________________ 1 The dissertation committee for Andrea Weis certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: “ON BEHALF OF MY COMRADES”: TRANSNATIONAL PRIVATE MEMORIES OF GERMAN PRISONERS OF WAR IN U.S. CAPTIVITY By Andrea Weis ____________________________________ Chairperson Committee members ____________________________________ ____________________________________ ____________________________________ ____________________________________ Date defended: ______________________________ 2 ABSTRACT On May 8, 1945 eleven to twelve million Germans experienced the fall of National Socialist Germany while in Allied captivity;1 four million German soldiers experienced it as captives of the United States. These Germans not only had to negotiate and respond to “victorious” Americans who judged them by standards different from those in the regime for which they fought, but also had to put into perspective their active investment in a political and social structure that had initiated and carried out global war and genocide. This study analyzes nine personal interviews conducted between 2001 and 2004 to address how German soldiers and war prisoners remember their “private” experiences of the rupture of Germany‟s defeat and their transnational relations with U.S. personnel in captivity. By employing popular memory theory, it will investigate how German veterans, sixty years after the war, compose private memories and senses of self in the persistent shadows of their National Socialist past.

  • Clithero Handout 32
    When Anna Laura Hill arrived in Clyde, Kansas on Friday, the 13th of October 1911, she had one very lucky little boy in her company of Paul Young/Paul Clithero children. Paul Young was born March 10, 1908 in Brooklyn, New York. His parentage is unknown. Paul was a little over three, the youngest child in 1908 - 1963 the company. The Clyde Farmer’s Voice described him as the “tiniest little lad of 2 years with the auburn hair and the freckled nose.” Rider to Clyde, Kansas Boyd and Louise Clithero, a wealthy couple from Concordia with October 13, 1911 no children of their own, drove to Clyde in their automobile with friends and attended the placing out of the New York children. They were instantly smitten with little Paul and requested to take him. The local committee members knew Boyd Clithero owned a grocery store and apartment buildings in Concordia. (The Clitheros built the brick apartment building that stands across the street to the West from this statue. It was known then as Clithero Flats.) They also knew that the Clitheros were active in the community and upstanding citizens, so they heartily approved the match. Little Paul rode home with the Clitheros and their friends in that automobile that afternoon. Paul Young was legally adopted and became Paul Clithero. His antics were well publicized in the area papers. He became best friends with a little boy next door named Norman Lewis. Paul and Norman formed a strong friendship that would never end. About a year after his arrival in Kansas, the Clitheros moved from their house on West Seventh Street.
