- Description:
- Hazel Christenson recalls her childhood and youth in Minnesota, becoming a teacher in 1929, and coming to Lansing, MI in 1945 to teach in the Lansing school district. Christenson explains why she later accepted an overseas teaching position in Germany, saying that she wanted to see the places she had read about all of her life and her family's native Sweden. She describes her teaching duties at the U.S. Army base in Bremerhaven, her quarters, sanitary conditions, her pay, opportunities to socialize with U.S. Army officers and the devastation of post-war Germany. She also talks about coming back to the U.S. in 1952, the rough passage, and returning to her teaching position in Lansing. Christenson is interviewed by Elsie Hornbacher who shares some of her memories as she talks with Christenson.
