Exhibit credits and acknowledgments:

 

This exhibit was designed at the Northwest Minnesota Historical Center, on the campus of Minnesota State University Moorhead. Special thanks to Korella Selzler of the Center for her assistance in the development of the site.

The Center gratefully acknowledges the help of the Minnesota Humanities Commission for its generous grant assistance for obtaining oral interviews and documents used in the exhibit. Supplemental assistance from the MSUM Alumni Foundation and the Roland and Beth Dille for Excellence is also appreciated.

Also a big thank you to Edward and Richard Stern, the sons of Herman Stern, without whose generous assistance this project could not have been done.

Thanks also to the Elwyn B. Robinson Department of Special Collections, Chester Fritz Library, University of North Dakota, for permission to reproduce letters from the Herman Stern Papers.

The Center also wishes to thank Jody Bendel for the production of the Stern family genealogy graphic, Robert Schieffer for production of the sound files, and Gisela Nobel, professor emerita of MSUM for translations of some of the letters in the Herman Stern papers. Thanks are also due to Dr. John Neumaier, president emeritus of Moorhead State, for reading through the information on this site and pointing out to us several errors.

Finally, a special thank you to Patrick Max, Director of Instructional Resources at MSUM for permitting the Center staff some concentrated time to develop this site.
