  • Summary

  • Russia. War. Mennonites? Every family has a story, but not everyone’s gets told. Welcome to the Family Stories podcast. I’m Claire Preheim and let me tell you about one of mine. This episode features my great-grandfather's time in World War I Russia. Today we’ll be diving into the world of Mennonites, pacifism, and conscientious objectors during the Great War.
