The Germans from Russia Heritage Collection is pleased to provide this monumental work, The Glückstalers in New Russia, the Soviet Union, and North America. In 2004, GCRA published The Glückstalers in New Russia and North America. This book is dedicated to Gwen Bernice Black Pritzkau, one of the founders of GCRA who researched many points of origin for Black Sea German families and especially the Glückstal German families.

Homer Rudolf, the Editor, writes in the Introduction; "Of particular significance are the memoirs that deal with life in the Soviet Union prior to 1944, the subsequent evacuation to present-day Poland, and the years that followed. A study of the migration in South Russia is included, as well as articles on the interim migration to Poland and Hungary that preceded that migration. Documents from South Russia and the United States, some of them newly acquired, have been translated with commentary. This collection is greatly enhanced by the photos and documents contributed by Glückstalers."
