Growing Up German-Russian: A Radio Series is a collection of narratives gleaned from the oral histories collection of the Dakota Memories Oral History Project.
 
Originally aired on Prairie Public radio in March and April; the narratives provide a glimpse of growing up in North Dakota.  From coming to Ellis Island and singing a traditional funeral song in German to learning to drive a tractor and swim, eight German-Russians share their experiences of immigrating and life on the plains.
 
The CD is 40 minutes, including the interviews and commentaries.
