Download or read book The Constructed Mennonite written by Hans Werner and published by Univ. of Manitoba Press. This book was released on 2013-05-15 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Werner was a storyteller. A Mennonite immigrant in southern Manitoba, he captivated his audiences with tales of adventure and perseverance. With every telling he constructed and reconstructed the memories of his life. John Werner was a survivor. Born in the Soviet Union just after the Bolshevik Revolution, he was named Hans and grew up in a German-speaking Mennonite community in Siberia. As a young man in Stalinist Russia, he became Ivan and fought as a Red Army soldier in the Second World War. Captured by Germans, he was resettled in occupied Poland where he became Johann, was naturalized and drafted into Hitler’s German army where he served until captured and placed in an American POW camp. He was eventually released and then immigrated to Canada where he became John. The Constructed Mennonite is a unique account of a life shaped by Stalinism, Nazism, migration, famine, and war. It investigates the tenuous spaces where individual experiences inform and become public history; it studies the ways in which memory shapes identity, and reveals how context and audience shape autobiographical narratives.

Download or read book Chosen Nation written by Benjamin W. Goossen and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2019-05-28 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the global Mennonite church developed an uneasy relationship with Germany. Despite the religion's origins in the Swiss and Dutch Reformation, as well as its longstanding pacifism, tens of thousands of members embraced militarist German nationalism. Chosen Nation is a sweeping history of this encounter and the debates it sparked among parliaments, dictatorships, and congregations across Eurasia and the Americas. Offering a multifaceted perspective on nationalism's emergence in Europe and around the world, Benjamin Goossen demonstrates how Mennonites' nationalization reflected and reshaped their faith convictions. While some church leaders modified German identity along Mennonite lines, others appropriated nationalism wholesale, advocating a specifically Mennonite version of nationhood. Examining sources from Poland to Paraguay, Goossen shows how patriotic loyalties rose and fell with religious affiliation. Individuals might claim to be German at one moment but Mennonite the next. Some external parties encouraged separatism, as when the Weimar Republic helped establish an autonomous "Mennonite State" in Latin America. Still others treated Mennonites as quintessentially German; under Hitler's Third Reich, entire colonies benefited from racial warfare and genocide in Nazi-occupied Ukraine. Whether choosing Germany as a national homeland or identifying as a chosen people, called and elected by God, Mennonites committed to collective action in ways that were intricate, fluid, and always surprising. The first book to place Christianity and diaspora at the heart of nationality studies, Chosen Nation illuminates the rising religious nationalism of our own age.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mennonite Saga is fiction based on fact. Lee Heide is of Mennonite descent. His grandfather was born in Russia and came to Canada in 1895. Using family material and extensive research, Heide tells their story of endless persecution until coming to Canada and of their life in this country. Menno Simons was a Catholic priest in Holland. He broke away from the church in 1537 and formed his own religion and church. Always under persecution from Charles V, ruler of the Holy Roman Empire, Menno's followers were tortured and executed and there was a price on his head. He fled to Germany in 1554 where he dies in 1561. Using the fictitious van Haydon family as a vehicule, with Jacob as a friend of Menno's , Heide tells the sotry of their travails in Holland and subsequent moves to Germany, Russia and Canada. Describing Mennonite life in Canada, Heide concentrates on their contribution to World Wart II. Although they were exempt from military service, many volunteered in both combat and non-combat roles. The story follows one family member who becomes a Medic and serves throughout the war in England and Europe.
