Back to Luxembourg

Matthew Foster

Nearly 15,000 U.S. citizens (including the host of this podcast) are also citizens of an unexpected place: the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. Descendants of immigrants who left Luxembourg in the 19th century, this community of Luxembourgish-American Luxembourgers is sizable... and growing. From the Moselle to the Mississippi, we explore what makes Luxembourg, well, Luxembourg and what's happening in Lëtzebuergesch America. Every two weeks, learn more about this small, surprising country and the people who call it home, no matter where in the world they might be.
