Germans Are Funny, Too!Stories Of My Cuckoo Kraut FamilyEvery family is unique with their own stories as well as dysfunctions. Some good, some bad. Some funny, some sad. So, why write about the Deutsche (German) side of my family? For starters, Germans are usually depicted either as evil Nazis or exceedingly stoic and stubborn; certainly not warm and fuzzy. Don’t get me wrong, I acknowledge these stereotypes are at times true, but there’s so much more to their personalities and characters, at least from my point of view. For I’ve had the honor and privilege of experiencing German people and culture firsthand throughout my life via my mother and her family.
