The truth about today’s Amish
The Pennsylvania Dutch left Germany hundreds of years ago and are a fascinating subculture of the United States. Many people have heard of the Amish, but might not completely understand what exactly this community is, beyond the fact that they wear strange clothing and don’t have TVs. Which is understandable given how closed-off this community can be.
However, I am SO lucky to be able to know Doug Madenford, a member of the Pennsylvania Dutch community and while he isn’t Amish and will claim to not be an « expert » (though I would challenge that assertion), he knows a LOT about the Amish.
Join me as I talk to Doug Madenford about The Pennsylvania Dutch and the Amish so that we can better understand this group of people beyond their clothing and the ridiculous reality tv shows in which they’ve been featured.

[Hi! I’m Kelly and I am an American who lived in Germany for 18 wonderful months. While I lived abroad before in Turkey and had done quite a bit of traveling beforehand, those 18 months in Germany definitely broadened my perspective of Germany, Europe, and even the US in so many different ways!
I wanted to share my perceptions with you guys through YouTube so that maybe you can gain context to things you’ve heard about, or learn new information or a different perspective, or maybe this is everything you’ve heard before and further confirms your world view. No matter what the reason, I hope that you enjoy my videos!
