Description: After WWI in the Ukraine, chaos ruled. Many German-speaking Mennonites sought refuge in the Americas. Noted community and religious leader and poet Johann P. Klassen and his future daughter-in-law Katherine Schellenberg kept diaries of their families' separate and nerve-racking journeys to Canada.
