The Dakota Memories Oral History Project (DMOHP) preserves
the history and heritage of second- and third-generation Germans
from Russia. Since its 2005 inception, the project has focused
on childhood memories and family relationships. In short,
it chronicles what it was like growing up German-Russian on
the Northern Plains. Visit our website - Dakota
