The word %22World%22 in the title of %22Lutheran World Federation%22 is what caught my eye on this project. I was curious about how St. Olaf people get involved in an international project and also excited to dig deep into this %22real-world application%22 of international cooperations in a politically unstable situation after WWII.<\/p>\n
The International Cooperation section would focus on a couple of aspects:<\/p>\n
To answer these questions, my colleagues and I have together visited a few archives as well as interviewing a few related persons. As we read more through the historical documents and books written, we hope to create a historical narrative of this missing parts of the history.<\/p>\n

I was drawn to do this project because I wanted the chance to find out how St. Olaf connects to the immigration and resettlement of refugees after WWII. I was especially interested in the Churches in Exile because I am fascinated by the immensity of Soviet history and the many places it impacts, including the Baltic states. Additionally, I found the complex history of Baltic displaced persons as victims and perpetrators during the Soviet and German occupation important to how we remember who was allowed to immigrate to the U.S.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
