This year's virtual German Day, “Grenzenlos Deutsch” (German without Borders), turned out to be a great success. German Day is an annual event of competitions and fun for middle and high school German students sponsored by U-M’s Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures. This year's theme sought to exemplify not only the lack of geographical borders the German language has crossed over the course of history, but the technological ones as well. This theme was more than appropriate given our current global situation and that it was hosted via Zoom. Stacy Swennes and Silvia Grzeskowiak, the coordinators, are proud of all this year’s participants and submissions, deeply appreciate everyone’s continued support of this special annual event, and are very much looking forward to next year’s —hopefully—in-person German Day 2022.
