Pictures from World War I are circulating on the Internet. They show the hardships faced by many subjected to internment camps, tar and feathering, and even lynching. The twist is that the photos are of the indignities foisted on German immigrants in America.

While Europe descended into the hell of war, German immigrants in America had their own nightmare scenario to face. Once welcomed to America to the extent that German had become the second-most spoken language in the US, fear and paranoia had turned public sentiment against German-Americans in the country. Even President Woodrow Wilson announced that German-Americans were ‘alien-enemies’ and that they must renounce their German heritage if they wanted to remain a part of American society. He went on to say that every German-American carried “a dagger that he is ready to plunge into the vitals of this Republic when he gets ready.”

German churches, schools, clubs and newspapers were assumed to be agents of the German government involved in a conspiracy against the US government. Thousands were fired from their jobs. Fourteen states banned the German language from being taught in schools. The American Defense Society provoked public burnings of German books and encouraged communities to change German names of streets, cities, parks and schools to the names of Belgian and French towns destroyed in the war. Some Germans even saw their property seized by authorities – in total, the US confiscated half a billion dollars in private property during WWI. In 1915, 25% of all high school students in the US studied German. It was the most studied modern foreign language in the country. By the end of the war, only 1% of high schools in America still taught the language.
