  • Die German-American Heritage Foundation of the USA widmet sich der Geschichte und der Kultur von Amerikanern deutscher Abstammung in den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika. Sie hat ihren Sitz in Washington. Im Jahre 2006 ging sie aus dem United German-American Committee (dem Vereinigten Deutsch-Amerikanischen Komitee) hervor, das 1977 gegründet wurde. Ziel der 1977 von Dr. Hans R. Haug gegründeten Organisation ist es, die Geschichte der deutschsprachigen Gemeinden in den USA und die kulturelle Tradition der Auswanderer ins nationale Interesse zu rücken. Das „German-American Heritage Center“ will alle Amerikaner deutscher Abstammung – nach Angaben der Organisation selbst 60 Millionen Personen – dazu anregen, ihre europäischen Wurzeln aufzuspüren. Das Zentrum will die gesamte Vielfalt deutsch-amerikanischer Geschichte und deren Errungenschaften, Kunst und Kultur dokumentieren und soll ein Forum für offene Diskussionen sein. Nach eigenen Angaben hat die Organisation weltweit 18.000 Mitglieder, die sich fast allesamt aus den USA rekrutieren. (de)
  • The German-American Heritage Foundation of the USA (GAHFUSA) is a national non-profit organization that promotes the German language, culture, and heritage in the United States and works toward preserving the history of Americans of German ancestry who helped build the United States. It is a national membership organization through which Americans of German heritage and language work together on issues of common concern. The organization's national headquarters are in Washington, D.C. The German-American Heritage Foundation was established as the United German-American Committee of the USA in 1977. Each year since President Ronald Reagan first declared October 6 German-American Day in 1987, GAHFUSA has petitioned the White House, United States Congress, and state and local governments to issue national and statewide proclamations. On October 17, 2008, the German-American Heritage Foundation acquired Hockemeyer Hall to establish the first national German-American Heritage Museum of the USA. Through supporters and fundraising, the GAHF was able to renovate the interior and exterior of the old townhouse, which opened in March 2010. (en)
