Hello,
I am a writer, based in Berlin, Germany. I am planning a book project on German emigration. One chapter will deal with the General Slocum disaster. Very few people here in Germany know about it (whereas we all know about the Titanic) and its consequences for Little Germany.
Right now I am trying to find descendants of survivors, victims and people assisting when the disaster happened. Is anyone out there who had ancestors on the steamer? Then please drop me a line. Best, Friederike.
