cultural heritage and vital contributions to North
America of the people of Danish extraction.

Danish immigrants and continues through present day
Danish Americans. Through our holdings a picture

Currently on display at the Danish American Archive and
Library is an exhibit that details the life and career
of Dagmar Vasby, a remarkable woman who served as a
medical missionary in Manchuria during World War II, and
in Liberia after the war. She wrote the book Under the
Cloud, which tells about her view that God's guiding
cloud led her across Stalinist Russia to Chinese
Manchuria where she experienced the Japanese occupation,
the ravages of WW II and the subsequent Soviet
incursion. Perhaps the most remarkable thing about Dagmar is that she is still living an active life at 105
years of age! Under the Cloud can be purchased from Lur
Publications, a subsidiary of the DAAL, by contacting
Ruth Rasmussen at 402-426-7910, or email the archive at:
