the kid will go now, this is elder rado. this will be 9, you know, and, but there are stories of dreams and suffering elements of very painful stories because of all the mass because we've experienced ok. well i know making that i'm and i'm back as i'm from southern brazil and i was a journalist in germany origin which is by my side. i want to emigrate it from you . i want to take you want to johnny will spanish 200 years of german immigrations. they in brazil dialing maya who but as you this i have family in brazil and germany. they had no contacts for almost a century. it wasn't until many years off to my grandmother's death was it was

a sudden that's when i finally met my mother's close relative so much. my family history is one of migrations. that's what we'll be exploring on our journey. the hopes my heart was pounding and how people's minds the shaped my history. parts with progress was seen as tied to europe, united zation, not just of customs and traditions of the population itself. the filming in brazil in april 2024. we had no way of knowing that once in a century, catastrophe was about to hit my home state over your ground. to do so. places i had visited with the camera crews were piece of must and floodwaters just days later, people would lose that homes. and sometimes even that lives, the thoughts of journey

begins before best modem, 1000 kilometers. if the north south palo is in the mega city smelting pumps and the cultural and economic call to a brazil attempt to move in 12000000 people. over the centuries, people have come here from complex countries. some came voluntarily from europe or asia. others would come to consent to brazil as slaves. around 1900, the city experienced a huge influx of immigrants, new come as drove industrialization and up in ice ation. the focus of the countries immigration museum located on an historically significant railroad lines yet is that the main check right here on this platform is where trains from the point of santos arrived. retiring immigrants of sales immigrants, but i come from 1897 until the 19 seventy's. this was brazil's largest home immigrants, people's luggage would be disinfected. here you arrivals would be registered and

given medical checks, the listed under nickels for the stove was built a comfortably house, 2 to 3000 people from the by the end of the 19th century. it was accommodating between 8010000 people on a given day, possibly think there was a lot of tension on the part of the immigrants, the workers, and also the native people. what are the, what is the, there was a fear of epidemics and are foreigners to get to the me. so this place reminds us of the history of immigration as a whole. and we bought all the associated hope and suffering. he told them that i thought of this building contains all those stories i've made and then we thought of children once, but almost no for the yep. l a co more the for the thought of the getting multiple fires broke out in the hospital caused by the immigrants on authorized cooking. the names of 12000 democrats are in great museums. but one name i can find is that

of my grandmother who arrived here in 1925. the 1000 kilometers south is the town of capital farm in nova, i'm bogo in the state of rio crunch. i do so this is where i grew up with my parents live. my grandma either lived here for almost 30 years until her tax in 1997. the family lost contact with my grandma sibling soft to the 2nd well on. the $198.00 is my father attempted to track down our relatives in germany, unsuccessfully the in portugal i wrote a letter in portugal, most of which my mother translated into german. we sent it the fits back to the town where my mother, real employees, muscle memory, months later we got a reply or 2 of my mothers sisters had already died. i do is their mother helped you in front of her brother had died in the war and there was no information about

the 3rd time. you also i'd be more than i gave you all. so all contacts had been lost. the disappeared go home. says here, long tail mice comes off. the in fact the nice isn't grand nice is my grandma ita live in this small town and the german state of the section 8. 1 thing we have in common with oper zillion family is the food the fact that we found each other in 2021 is nothing short of a miracle i'd finished studying in germany. and in order to apply for citizenship, i'd requested documents from the old starters in my grandma's best place. just so happened that the same official was also contacted by my grandmas german nice. who was making a family tree. well yes,

can i how it wasn't hounding. i'd finally found someone related to on the ita to you know, that's too good for decades. my grandma eda was a gap in the family story. she had emigrated to brazil with foster parents in 1925 while have full biological siblings. stayed with that father in germany. she never sold them again. at em gods and never got to meet her aunt. now and god has met me eat as grandson. she suddenly has a present in, in the family. most of my grandmother was born in this small town in north and germany. she was baptized in this church. but why couldn't she stay with her father? i had a siblings. the one of us has been what happens in the family is alive as my grandma are adopted. not sending up funds from 9 to 120 to 1925 the odd

years. you cannot make lee, especially here in the country side. it wasn't easy to raise children without some of the gland onto lead us methods. deluge getting fast to toby's tom's on the ground was left alone with 5 children. so he left this was due to the care of the helps oak family from the, from the they had all the game sites that they went to present was even those given the once in 1925, the have folks emigrated to presume with initial each item on the ship pulled the union off coupon. thanks to the local heritage society, we're able to get a sense of the town of fish back in the 19 twenty's. the type of family lived in this house. at that time, a few years off to germany had lost the fast one more. many people left that homeland in this region, 12 and a quarter of the population decided to seek better lives in the new won't

stop was often, but i know happened once continental europe since ologist emigration point with a huge lead by another emigrating to brazil from same awesome, yeah, he was less than 5 years old and the title of it as you get more than 7200000 people bought it ships to start new lives on the other side at the well for either and a new family. the journey took them via south palo to poto allegra in the state of rio grande to do so. the at the german immigration center stories like that to my grandmother are collected and brought to life between 19201930, almost 75000 germans emigrated to presented the

the mice. and you also the most people left for economic reasons. and the economic crisis, hitler, 1923 are ready to fund one. you know, the middle class has lost their wealth and many young people. so no hope for the weimar republic in the volume of apple leaks. and there were lots of families of farmers who wanted to continue working in agriculture when fina meant for them. south america was a good and bad type of work to happen in the united states no longer offered freelance. in fact, the land was extremely expensive there. but in brazil, that opportunity still existed and cause these things are getting garbage. steven lucas, ada and foster parents travel for over a month. that's how long it took to cross the atlantic. and those things the copying they slipped in, in 1925 would look something like this, relatively comfortable. it's a far cry from the sailing congo ships that have taken the 1st german colonists took results

a 100 years earlier. then people would be crammed together for several months and see of a lack of wind. the food supplies running out. and heaven forbid an outbreak of disease attach would simply be thrown overboard. the in 1824. these 1st emigrants travelled 11000 kilometers to a completely new and unknown well. was there in 19 o 8, the portuguese royal family had also landed the fleeing napoleon and his army, and the country had been independent since 18. 22, ruled by don't petro the 1st and his wife, leo po, dina from austria to come to bags. response be populated south of the country and defend data against naples, uruguay, and argentina. brazil, recruited foreign colonists. the one's as much of

a skill. i have one related personnel open test. um, do you have a pen migration? is it was that the end of slavery was assigned to on was i stuff like i was when needed on the gulf. the plantation off guard sounded by the f. what is in the fridge confessed brazil was among the last countries to advantage slavery until 1888 saved africans, and the 2 sentence worked on the country's foundations, the option to describe a light. so the abolition of slavery and brazil dragged on for several decades. it was generally accepted that it was an obsolete model that slavery could no longer be maintained in the long term. and it was becoming increasingly difficult to get new slaves because of the british blockade of the slave trade. recada that raised the question for them of where to find new workers who were cheap and obedient. because when we always 50, i believe that i would have to go as well. i'm all right, that's the sort of the empire of brazil actively recruited to your opinions,

enticing them with free passage and free finding the end and local taxes. by 183111, south german speaking immigrants had a right to brazil the, the 19th century governments was deeply racist. so keeping lines that formerly enslaved people of african origin was on the sink. when we do the up each section, just get us or to stay in her opinion, immigration policy cemented the idea. then 3 labor was performed by white workers. but that's the legacy it has. the state in the history of brazilian society is u. s . a. and there's a complex race to stereotype that's going to mentally associates being black in this country with slavery alone and able to look at as you. one of the major is covered. but in fact, these in slaved men and women with the most import, these people and the develop new the sales specialist. ringback that is

a bit as when slavery was abolished in 1898. how many insights people were systematically excluded by the white tenant of no plan for integrating them into society. they began to free lives a 2nd class citizens in the grubbing slumbers of the big cities. even today, millions of afro resilience live in preparing circumstances. the under represented in politics, business science and culture, is to as a consequence of 19th century immigration policy. and it's aimed to quote, modernize and quote, the country flux with voided lice because it's an oil piece in progress was seen as tied to european eyes ation or not just of customs. and traditions of the population itself is to ship racist ideas, played a crucial role. among the idea was a so called a white lining of the population, in a brazil that was made up of very different communities. because according to the thinking

of the time this was seen as negative and a hindrance to development, you got to you for the big payment. that's why they wanted your opinion was and not just the, any european level, but especially central europeans. you guys, they were seen as virtuous, hardworking, and bishop, and obedient. wouldn't that made them desirable subjects, these guns when one of the focal point was the german states? because it was known, there were lots of, with more people there which and to them. and then there was pressure to emigrate and lloyd the funeral. i did the often to come home, a savanna. busy at the beginning of the 19th century, the french and brenda podium had time to europe into a thoughtful talbot. he was rife, in many regions, and full hobbies and 70 might seem to us. at the same time, the population was growing, which increased food shortages and unemployment. the one example is conflict. and once now the german states of rhineland plat tonight,

the man is a small town that still has close ties to something for sale. 200 years ago, the 1st column is set out from this area of to be actively recruited by the present and government the last bottom. from quinn's that sale by what mostly they were skilled farmers are also on their own houses. the lloyd people had to sell their houses to afford to immigrate and so they weren't the poorest of the poor. the money had to come from somewhere and that's good was taken. boy, goldman, you could say they were social immobile, even the very top. they'd be better off somewhere else as a, the more willing to make a new start. and then of course, there were also some very poor people by the standards of the time about the communities were often have when those people emigrated and they wanted to solve social problems using immigration. the so to all the popular mod,

eclipse and dish was, there are lots of examples of people don't like to talk about it, who is and they'll give to you to buy a really good, nice gunpoint by your school today, like many places in germany, the town of simmons has itself become home to immigrants in search of a better life. the back in 1824, the people, the funds of elk hope to find a better life in selling the poto and southern brazil. the then further pages in men room and the father side. it's more demand like this monument was directed in 1924 on the 39 1st. german immigrants got all arrived on july, the 25th 1824, and solely a poto in the state of rio rancho to serve on the banks of 3 of the cmos is the

result. you'll hear the seems to take a longer cap with us. the show the off to we came here to film the area was his find massive flooding the west in the history of real ground, yet to, to devastate it's only a photo, a city of 200000 inhabitants in the cradle of german immigration. the when we visited at the beginning of april, the museum was still intact. morning. welcome to the museum takes us back to the 1824. on july, the 25th 8 families and a few single man arrived here. towards the end of the year, the number rose to $126.00. they were farm is craft people and soldiers that came to cultivate the land and secured the borders. this is what they brought as little

as yours. you know by today's standards, it's a big trunk shooting to cooperate in april 24. it was the entire family, their whole life. with a near latino kids, you might just put them separately. the thing is that the, the museum has collected 10000 don't jacks and thousands of documents, sports and music equipment, especially important to the germans. the immigrants also brought something else with them to brazil, that protestant religious beliefs and well this is our most important exhibit until i show can you get shows that they didn't just have practical things with them. but i took a look over it after all, dismissal was the most crucial thing in terms of survival. have to give somebody. this is a bible from the 1765, and they seem to divided itself with sage from the recent floods. but the museum was badly had centuries of immigration history submerged. even 200 years ago

founding a colony riots on the river proved to be a bad idea. a similar cycle you do, you know, the travelers who pass through reported to the provincial government that the chosen location couldn't have been worse video to balance, to disappear every time the river flooded to view the town would be under water stock for all 3 co trespass. has written several books about the german immigrants and that decisive influence on something for sale. a small farm is growing crops and raising livestock. they with the pioneers of family farming, which still today supply 70 percent of presents food. it was a hard life, especially for women, the cheapest can conditional swap pocketing out of everyone who left their homeland and emigrated to. so the women suffered the most and invited scott as well. that is, and there are several letters for women who really struggle because of domestic

problems. i mean, that is something that think of so many were pregnant when they emigrate at home graphic that they had to look under 516 sometimes as many as 10 children need it. so hopefully that will arrow. but i don't want at all in mind. these are families from a region that was left extremely poor following the napoleonic wars, if as you get. this was true for them which allowed the people were left disabled traumatized because the women were the spying american family, including children, to disagree, bab and shouting. they were absolute, he really had mentioned might or you know, whether in the field. so the fact or is it taught to overestimate the role of women playing in the economic rights of the region, which today is one of the most developed in order to present the architectural legacy of german immigration can be seen in many small towns in rio rancho do so, the german traditions have survived the annual church

fast camps as in the region of dialect of homes work these days old stadiums come together to celebrate you can also taste the german cultural heritage like in the cafe colonial follow sy, in morrow going to the and we think that's funny, it reminds me of my childhood. and then there's some of the things here that i can do with it, like that on sausage. look for that here. the apple strudel to the fried pastry, the chaos they all come. a sausage in the area who could ask for anything along with like, you know, somebody's not the next on our journey is palmetto g in the state of santa catalina, any 18 sixty's germans from palmer rainier, settled in this some tropical region in total. about $300000.00 germans found a new home in brazil, the som,

around palmetto. cheese still live almost the same lives that ancestors did. running family farms instead of laundry states. and mona cultures the among other things to see that families grow palm trees on leaving hunger at the beginning. the problems really saved people we sent and they came out here to the jungle. how there was nothing on the phone. com at 1st. they survived by hunting animals fishing in and from fruit and tom hearts. tom had the palms and as for the building, the leaves for sleeping on it will be on us for that the on help. sadly. see, as the 21st century bombing alone wouldn't be enough to support them. another important income source of the tourist to come here to get an impression of what life was

like. for the 1st german immigrants the power of mind is shifted utilities maybe later. so my story to the tour at all, it must be hot, since i tell them how we live, where we came from and how things have changed. and the yeah, home is i'm just the children can make money from tourism and then it's sustainable housing. yeah. so then the thought is was nice without the they will leave and move to the big city or somewhere i go to a stipend or the so i but he's thing is all vid shot. but i think the way we're using tourism means that we can carry on. that's the see as women to the who is why they get into mold in 90 percent of commodity residents are of german descent. german culture and language are important to you. the german is a compulsory subject to this bilingual school. *

the mission of the central, cuz i'm really impressed by that curiosity about how many of boston, how nicely they can speak a language that i know them other tongue jerome. uh, you know, well my dad, what you meant to say is the tradition of schooling play, find a german immigrants continues to have an impact. literacy rates in the region say central are among the highest in the country with customer support going to agreement for the education was very important to the german government. wherever the colony was established, they built 2 things that were fundamental to their way of life. coming back to that church and a school category is called google very often the government didn't even in

promises including when it came to providing an education system for the immigrant . so most of and he's had a self funded called the galaxy. the cool. that's why for a long time, so many of them kept them german is their 1st language. how not fortunately you know for to get the why my brazilian family no longer speaks german, what the nazis have to do with it. and what consequences did german immigration have for the indigenous peoples? whole this and more next time, up to about journey through 200 years of german brazilian history, the

traditional cultures. and you'll find maybe what role does culture play versus modernization? we're asking african cultures at risk of being erased in the quest for globalization africa was that tough to, to get it started. so this is all they have told us nothing else has been sold to us. okay. okay. is that what can you do you think that's the beauty of interesting? this 77 percent. next on d w, the me, i'm sick talking the goals house
