click on the links above for more information about DANK The German American National Congress (DANK) was founded in Chicago in 1959 to bring together Germans and Americans of German ancestry. We aim to preserve and enjoy our German heritage, language and culture. We are not a political organization, however we endeavor to represent German - American interests. DANK maintains close relationships with our governmental and civic bodies, including the White House, federal, state and municipal agencies, as well as the German Embassy in Washington, consulates and other German organizations with cultural, education and commercial agendas.
The German American National Congress publishes a bi-monthly bilingual newspaper, the German American Journal, with news and activity reports for its members and friends. It is the voice of the organization and has a national distribution. Here are some of the other objectives and activities of DANK:
DANK chapters engage in many cultural and social activities of particular interest to its members, e.g. German American Day, Steuben Parades, German Fests, Oktoberfests, picnics, dances, Karneval and Christmas celebrations. DANK also interacts with other ethnic societies in joint cultural programs. As the nation's largest German
American organization it has become a uniting force
for our country's largest ethnic community and a
strong voice in representing its interests. |
