From the end of the Baroque age and the death of Bach in 1750 to the rise of Hitler in 1933, Germany was transformed from a poor relation among Western nations into a dominant intellectual and cultural force more influential than France, Britain, Italy, Holland and the United States. In the early decades of the 20th century, German artists, writers, philosophers, scientists and engineers were leading their freshly unified country to new and undreamed of heights, and by 1933, they had won more Nobel prizes than anyone else and more than the British and Americans combined.

Deutschland schafft sich ab löste 2010 bei seinem Erscheinen eine heftige gesellschaftspolitische Debatte aus. Es gab Versuche, den Inhalt zu skandalisieren, den Autor moralisch in die Ecke zu stellen und die inhaltlichen Argumente, die das Buch tragen, lächerlich zu machen. Von den Vorschlägen zur Abhilfe, die er in dem Buch machte, hat die deutsche Politik wenig bis gar nichts umgesetzt. Der Originaltext von 2010 wird noch in Jahrzehnten zeigen, was man hätte erkennen können, wenn man gewollt hätte, und was man hätte ändern können, wenn man die Ehrlichkeit und die Kraft dazu gefunden hätte.

In 1919 the Treaty of Versailles stripped Germany of its overseas colonies. This sudden transition to a post-colonial nation left the men and women invested in German imperialism to rebuild their status on the international stage. Remnants of an earlier era, these Kolonialdeutsche (Colonial Germans) exploited any opportunities they could to recover, renovate, and market their understandings of German and European colonial aims in order to reestablish themselves as "experts" and "fellow civilizers" in discourses on nationalism and imperialism.

For “Liebert Annals in Deutschland, Our German Family History” I’ve compiled the three stories I’ve written about my family’s German roots that are available in Kindle. Also included is family history not previously published, received from my grandmother, Helene, my father Joachim (Joe) and my aunts Rosemarie, and Eva. Where necessary, I’ve added details from my imagination. Although this history is based on real events the book is creative historical nonfiction because some of the details are fabricated.

In the 1850’s one branch of the Moschel family emigrated from Webenheim, Germany, to America. In 2001 a Webenheim resident found the website of a distant American cousin and emailed, “We are family.” That email introduction led to American and German cousins working together to uncover the family history through five centuries, two continents, and two world wars. This is the story of that history and of the newfound relationships which culminated in a reunion in Germany after 150 years of separation between the families.
