Description: It took a village to make two books. These companion volumes, one, a black and white text with historical photos (New Bremen), the second, a four-color, contemporary, pictorial documentary (New Bremen 2000), examine the unique life of the small village of New Bremen, Ohio, in the heart of Auglaize County, known to some as God's Country. The award-winning Cincinnati photographer, Bob Flischel, had remembered New Bremen with affection from an earlier visit. "I looked forward to going back. Everything about the town made me feel good". The writer, Mark Bernstein, interviewed dozens of people for both texts. His initial, historical retrosperspective made him the only choice to document the town at the turn of the century. These handsome books are beautiful gifts to the future generations of New Bremen and Auglaize County, who will inherit the stories and images of today, and embrace them as their past.
