Content Notes: From 00:16:00 to 00:41:20, the informant tells the story of why there are so many people with German backgrounds in his town, which appears to be one of the themes in a book he has written. The informant also gives many German words along with English words because he grew up speaking German with his family, who were first-generation immigrants from Germany.
