new to the a living in safety and freedom. exploring your identity will reconnect saying with family history, what's his german citizenship mean? so people with different backgrounds today, the main part of the thing of germany, even though i can have a say stuff with inside sales was impossible, low was about to pass fools. it was also about having to choose an identity that felt like a, uh, something positive had come out. so it was so terrible history. the

a melissa kind of coach sales at home in belin, born in germany, to talk his parents. she grew up with 2 languages and 2 coaches. but when it came to fix isn't shipped as a teenager, she was faced with a choice. when would customer here? my mom came to me and asked, so what do you want to be gentlemen altercation? and then it took a little while to figure out what to do is this my, how much the as a child, melissa had tucker citizenship. later she chose to apply for a german passport instead. rules at the time when she could only have one of the of them and child and having to choose between 2 identities. the coaches were just talking about a policy for what it was moved and that's of course, that stuff. it's not a nice feeling that well not, but for me it was clear quite quickly for ms. ross and yes,

i would expect law if you would, jim and or if you was seen as jim and it was an advantage. i thought it was like, the more you fish in the best, so you off when you man to high and past as the best of this to today. that's changed. minister says she's parts of a generation now embracing that mixed identities and creating space for thoughts in german society. she runs a design agency focused on issues around diversity. it's name rang, means color and tuck. yes. and she publishes a magazine exploring jasmine tech is culture. check for me because i created this image for myself where i'm not sitting between 2 chairs off and put on a bench. i can slide around on the desk and i think that mindset has something that's missing also in campaigns on websites in so many things. so the business really came out of a need specification also, and participants have all of them started in germany today. well,

most of sad if the population have what's known as the migration background, meaning they or at least one of the parents before and without them. and citizenship, the arrival of guesswork is in the mid 19 fifties march, the beginnings that the more types of society, the majority were from talking to came under a scheme for temporary workers to help each labor shortages most returned the many states and brought that families to join them. now people with tax rates make up germany's largest minority, great. many could benefit from the recent over or below a thing, the positive gentleman, citizenship. the change will also make dual citizenship possible for many more people. previously, it was an exception. like for those from the people like melissa who once had to choose between 2 nationalities and will now be able to have both for the credit. it's big news by community and she wants to share it with ranks, follow as fast as i have a sent in donald. okay. hold on up as is in my hand copy when preparing

a social media post, rout instagram page. that is what we want to let people know about this new law. and then the post is also about identity and what a passport can mean to people are just the pass for on the board. and also does the new allowing dual citizenship as long as the jew melissa says to the mindset used to be okay, you have to make a decision so that you can integrate better and choose to be one thing over the other. i think that was absolutely the wrong strategy. it cannot really ever be an advantage to have another aspect, another culture, another passport or another language can market figure that's the reality and melissa's bell in may go ahead and say, she says we should come into the supermarket and we're talking about in the end of culture, that's what she hopes for gemini future. as principal, i really want this to be something we can take for granted that we live alongside each other, many different cultures. we're living here together, that that's

a good statement that, that's not seen as a struggle or a conflict, but as an asset. so i can give advice on an asset for german society as well as its economy. the country needs more immigration and is desperately trying to attract skilled labor from abroad. and more and more people are making gemini that long time home. in 2022, the number of people granted german citizenship had to 20 high move in a culture of them was serious. many arrived here in 2015 off the civil war broke outs, and that homeland one of them wants to catch up almost 10 years after arriving in germany as a refugee. he's now jem and such as in hub. to find all of this, i work so hard to do everything you can do in germany, allison, my whole list, my level kind of nice on on kind of, i'm in the stores and getting the german passports at the end of it feels like i

finally made a tear and shaft of lots of 9 months of flood war in syria age 21. along with his older brother. he's supposed to live here in belen land, german and started taking piano. but he hasn't seen the rest of his family for 10 years. my clothes pale people back home because they can come to your on us and i couldn't travel anywhere else either. then, as you just couldn't do it, unfortunately, on that's being, that's more than that. it's the item versus what now, and the german passport makes it possible to kind of best buy in button. so nothing that's a lot to know. i just didn't have the option. so that's why it's really important to have it. me grover's taste as much on full time product design as months. that is also family and budget and file install top saying he launched his 1st stop shop just a year off to coming to gemini, an app,

to help all the refugees navigate the country's notorious bureaucracy. now that's part of his current venture. a platform supporting fellow migrant entrepreneurs is close to us. the noise in the i really believe that you commerce in germany have a different and unique perspective on the country and its structures of education. alas, on knowing question, i'll take and look at germany with fresh eyes and say this. so that's not working. and yesterday's desk. we could improve on this. and if so, this doesn't. but it's also the job and the responsibility of the german site to accept that accept cancelled to allow people migrants to try out their ideas on the life and even cutting. so it's going to allow me of eden and so on. so making society pass and that's important to him and his new citizenship also means he now has the right to vote. can serious months have felt politics had

nothing to offer him here. he wants to make his voice count the entire 1st part of living and working in germany. as i can take part, i can have a say stop permit inside. he's already had his 1st opportunity and a local election of the city hope warm tells nick talks people i'm looking forward to the next to in the federal election next year on the i'll actually be able to read the campaign posters. the parties put up around the city as a minute, they'll have a new meeting for me. he's not coming on next task on david's about tying these. i can read them knowing it's also relevant to me on this and other part of it. but he is on the fifty's off months assess, he'll always have his theory and identity. but german citizenship means a sense of belonging here to or in a democracy like germany. citizenship means rights, freedom protection,

as well as responsibilities. those to become naturalized citizens who you have to declare and saying no respect and not pulse. gemini, basic little or constitution 50, a mock 75 years since it was adopted and what was done west germany in may 1949. it's still the basis for unified germany today. off to the 2nd level, the basic glow is designed to prevent the atrocities of the nazi period from ever happening again. the nazi strips, juice, and other minorities are set right to full citizenship during the holocaust they and that collaborate is mad at $6000000.00. james the assets are amends of the stock bostic still shapes life in germany today. memorials like this one i remind of those who lost their lives. pip, a goldsmith's jewish grandfather escapes that fate. he fled nazi germany and found

safety in england. what typically a law decades late said she is reclaims jem and citizenship as the defendant of someone prosecuted by the nazis. that's her right under germany's basic, lo, now she lives here invalid citizenship. me is it 1st of the is very practical measure. so is about the sort of present say it's about me, but in german and being meeting i was a so come and go as those were alike in germany that so. so about the sort of reckoning with the cost is about the citizenship was offered to me by the german constitution. so for me, that's why it's such a so impulsive symbol, to have been able to have some reclaimed my german citizenship. so i should have always had a right to soon to publish a book about his story today had translator and publish that is visiting her at home and balance. i've got a couple of things here. so i'm not interested in, i'm probably because the site, the pay and the book,

the services german possible that he used to gets into england's hipaa scrum salsa and scouts. schmidt was stripped of his german citizenship by the nazis for me to come in. german has been pods of learning about my grandfather's life and this is much dates have as i come so that his memory gets carried for that. he died in 1963 and i never knew him. he could never have envisage. that's the honor which become german because it feels like i've made that sort of uh, yeah, so family connection with with him. the only way that i can make a connection with a mazda is that, as well as have research and writing tape, assess the culture of remembrance in germany has helped to bridge the gap between then and now saying that there is always attention there. and like i say that i find that german people, biological history,

really helps me overcome that tension. they also trying to understand, trying to or not so guess what happens and maybe try and learn from the past. learning from the cost. unfortunately, new beginnings, german citizenship, passports and politics. but more than that, people and a place to call home and with almost 85000000 citizens. there's no one way to be jasmine, the kind eyes and of fuzzy may meet patrick the pony. probably the cute as mayor and
