Germans in the Midwest

“… and what do you do?”

Have you ever been at a party and asked the question: "... and what do you do?" and before you know you are engrossed in a delightful conversation?

In our web-series we will do just that as we talk with Midwesteners who are German born and permanently make their home here.

We copied the format from ice scating: a few questions are compulsory and then there are five "free style" rounds around the rink.
