520    Where did all the Germans go? How does a community of 
       several hundred thousand people become invisible within a 
       generation? This study examines these questions in 
       relation to the German immigrant community in New York 
       City between 1880-1930, and seeks to understand how German
       -American New Yorkers assimilated into the larger American
       society in the early twentieth century. By the turn of the
       twentieth century, New York City was one of the largest 
       German-speaking cities in the world and was home to the 
       largest German community in the United States. This 
       community was socio-economically diverse and increasingly 
       geographically dispersed, as upwardly mobile second and 
       third generation German Americans began moving out of the 
       Lower East Side, the location of America's first 
       Kleindeutschland (Little Germany), uptown to Yorkville and
       other neighborhoods. New York's German American community 
       was already in transition, geographically, socio-
       economically, and culturally, when the anti-German/One 
       Hundred Percent Americanism of World War I erupted in 
       1917. This book examines the structure of New York City's 
       German community in terms of its maturity, geographic 
       dispersal from the Lower East Side to other neighborhoods,
       and its ultimate assimilation to the point of invisibility
       in the 1920s. It argues that when confronted with the anti
       -German feelings of World War I, German immigrants and 
       German Americans hid their culture - especially their 
       language and their institutions - behind closed doors and 
       sought to make themselves invisible while still existing 
       as a German community. But becoming invisible did not mean
       being absorbed into an Anglo-American English-speaking 
       culture and society. Instead, German Americans adopted 
       visible behaviors of a new, more pluralistic American 
       culture that they themselves had helped to create, 
       although by no means dominated. Just as the meaning of 
       "German" changed in this period, so did the meaning of 
       "American" change as well, due to nearly 100 years of 
       German immigration.
