Colorado State University Oral Histories
Sixty oral histories were collected between 1975 and 1978 as part of the Germans from Russia in Colorado Study Project. Interviews were conducted by project staff, most notably Dr. Ken Rock and Timothy Kloberdanz, and by students in a class on oral history given through the Department of History. Subjects covered included life in the German communities in Russia, the immigration experience, work and social life in the United States, and interaction between the Russian-German communities and the wider society in both Russia and the United States. The interviews followed a standard set of questions, also presented on this web site as part of the project's papers.
Of the 60 oral histories collected, 20 have been transcribed. These transcripts are presented on the CSU web site, with excerpts from the original recordings.
Several of the people interviewed have Norka ancestry or mention Norka in the recollections:
Paulina Hahn (audio interview and transcript)
Alice Herman Miller (audio interview and transcript)
Lydia Alles Miller (audio interview and transcript)
Philip Legler (interview transcript)
