as to music, fetch the teller play out. well was the only one i'm super lucky. music under the sun starts may 25th on d, w. the living in safety and freedom. exploring your identity or reconnection with family history. what this german citizenship means for people with different backgrounds today. the heart heading of germany, even though i can have a say stuff inside itself was impossible low. it was about the possible. it was also about having to choose an identity that felt like a, uh, something positive it come out. so it was so terrible history the

a melissa character, sales at home and balance born in germany to talk his parents. she grew up with 2 languages and 2 coaches. but when it came to citizenship as a teenager, she was faced with a choice more 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 the child and having to choose between 2 identities. the coaches were just talking about a possible, but it was more than that. 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 meant to kind pass this the best of this to me 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. help 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 is the focus off. i'm participants have all of them started in germany today

. well, most of fed, 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 for tons. the many states and brought their families to join them. now people with tax rates make up germany's largest minority, great. many could benefit from a recent over or below a thing, the punks to jump in 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 route 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 supposed to pass for on the door and also does the new lo, 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 class. can ma configure, that's the reality and melissa's bell in may go ahead and take it. she says we should come into the supermarket and we're talking about gym. that's 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, but 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 and 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 to 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 out as of this i work so hard to do everything you can do in germany. alice, i'm a homeless 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 fled to bore in syria age 21 along with his older brother, he's supposed to live here in belen lent german and started taking piano. but he hasn't seen the rest of his family for 10 years. my clothes fail, opal back home because they can come to your on us and i couldn't travel anywhere else either then. or you just couldn't do it. unfortunately on that's being, that's more than that. it's the item versus. but now, as i chairman, 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 embedded invalid, and stuff. top saying, he launched his fast stalks up just a year off to coming to gemini, an app,

to help all the refugees navigate the countries in the tori, a square up per se. now that's part of his current venture. a platform supporting fellows, 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 kansas. i'm going to allow people migrants to try out their ideas on the law. i think even sentence, that's going to allow me a, a easy e d and a alpha one. so making society best that's important to model. 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 this city. whole form tells nick that's considered to be what i'm looking forward to the next one, 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, cause some of the cost funding by time these i can read them knowing it's also relevant to me on this and on the part of it. but the years 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 in a democracy like germany,

citizenship means rights, freedom protection, as well as responsibilities. those to become naturalized citizens. here have to declare in saying no respect and not pulse chapman these basic little or constitution. this the a mock 75 years since it was adult usage and what was done west germany in may 1949 . it's still the basis for unify gemini today. off to the 2nd level, the basic glow was designed to prevent the atrocities of the nazi period from ever happening again. the nazi strips, juice, and other minorities, if that right to full citizenship during the holocaust they and that collaborate to some of it's 6000000. james the asset to remember this dog past still shapes life in germany today. memorials like this one i remind of those who lost their lives. pick a goldsmith's jewish grandfather escapes that fate. he fled nazi germany and found

safety in england. what typically, well, decades later she is, reclaims german citizenship as a defendant to someone prosecuted by the nazis. that's her right under germany's basic, lo now she lives here in portland 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 me, being able to so come and go as is where i like 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 enforcing symbol to have been able to have so reclaimed my german citizenship . so i should have who's had a right to soon to publish a book about his story today. head translator and publish that is visiting her at home in balance. i've got a couple of things here. so i'm not interested in. i'm probably because the site to

pay in the book. services, german possible. but he used to gets into england's hip it's grandfather and scold schmidt with stripped of his german citizenship by the nazis for me to come in. chapman has been todds of learning about my grandfather's life, and this is much dates have as i come so that his memory gets carried forward that he died in 1963. so i never knew him. he could never have envisage. that's the honor which become german, but it feels like i've made that sort of, uh yeah, that so family connection with with him. the only way that i can make a connection with a mazda is that, as well as her research and writing tip, assess the culture of remembrance in germany has helped to bridge the gap between that and now and that there is always a tension the and like i say that that's the spot that german people buying large.

you know, that 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 pos, learning from the cost. unfortunately, new beginnings, german citizenship costs thoughts and politics, but more than that, people, and the place to call home and with almost 85000000 citizens. that's no one way to be jasmine, the india. for expected, sage ellison's attribute in total amount due is reading animal likes. this is
