" The story follows the Germans from Russia from ancestral villages in the Old World to northern prairie farmsteads in the New World. It is told with humor and intelligence. It depicts with sensitivity the hardships and seemingly unendurable heartache the immigrants experienced through the generations. And through it all, the film honors the tenacity, faith and work ethic of the Germans from Russia.

"The video was absolutely wonderful; I was enthralled every minute as I watched. The original music is especially touching and appropriate. What a wonderful achievement for us all -- especially you. I cannot describe the pride I felt as I watched the story of our people unfold. "

"The film told the story very well. People not familiar with the German Russian story will now have a knowledge based on fact, and with considerable emotion. The part of the film which showed the two ladies making strudel was especially moving, for in it we saw the passing of a very important part of the heritage. "
