Families who left the Heimatland in search of opportunity set the stage for America's early economic growth as stewards of the land, unyielding laborers, and leaders in every major industry. The German Americans explores the immigrant experience and celebrates the cultural ties that still bond generations after 400 years in the United States. Prominent German Americans sharing their experiences include actor Eric Braeden, conductor Erich Kunzel, businessman Henry Steinway, composer Hans Zimmer, news anchor John Roland, and many more. Also celebrated are the German Americans who became true American icons, from President Eisenhower to Babe Ruth, Lawrence Welk, and Charles Schulz.
