some trouble fixing hills cultural identity meant, let's say together talks about community life on the research is now on the 200 years of german migration temper sales incentive and came to me from there was nothing in search of a better life. the kid will go now, this is elder rado. this will be 9 years. but there are stories of dreams and suffering elements of very painful stories because of all the mass because we've experienced oxygen. the whole i know making that i'm and back and 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 spending a 200 years of german immigrations. they in brazil dialing maria who but as you it's i have family in brazil and germany. i had no contact for almost a century. it wasn't until many years. often 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 lines are shaped. my history parts with progress was seen as tied to european as agents, 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 own states over your ground to do so, places i had visited with a camera truth. what piece of must in front want is just days later. people would lose that homes and sometimes even that lives the thought journey begins before best modem, 1000 kilometers. the north, south polo is an a mega city melting point and the cultural and economic call to brazil. it's home to more than 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 an ice ation. the focus of the countries immigration museum located on an historically significant railroad line. yet is that the main check right here on this platform is where trains from the point of santos arrive to have an immigrant that sort of sales immigrants. but i got from 1887 until the 19 seventy's. this was brazil's largest home immigrants, people's luggage would be disinfected. here. you arrivals with the registered and given medical checks, the listed under nicholas productive also was built to 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 it that there was a fear of epidemics and a foreigners to get to me?

so this place reminds us of the history of immigration as a whole. and we bought all the associated copeland suffering. and i still told them that i thought of the disability and contains all those stories of the children once, but almost no for the yep, l a i co more the for the start of the getting multiple files broke out in a hospital caused by the immigrants on authorized cooking, the names of 12000 democrats are engraved on the 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 test in 1997 the family last contact with my grandma siblings off to

the 2nd well on. the 198 is my father attempted to track down our relatives in germany, unsuccessfully the import. again, i wrote a letter in portugal, most of which my mother translated into german. we sent it to fishback to the town where my mother will replace my home at 3 months later, we got a reply for 2 of my mothers, sisters had already died. my daughter mo, helped you in front of her brother, had died in the war and there was no information about the 3rd. so i can know what else 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 in the

german state of noah saxony. one thing we have in common with oper zillion family is the food by 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 far it is in my grandma's best place. just so happened at the same official was also contacted by my grandma as jim a niece 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 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 m. god's 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. why couldn't she stay with a father? i had a siblings. the one of us has been what happens in the family is alive as my grandma are adopted. not something that's fun. so 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 grand 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 in the care of the helps oak family from the, from the they had. so they gave me 5 days later they went to present was even those given me once in 1925, the have folks and the great. it's

a brazil 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. moment a quarter of the population decided to seek better lives in the new won't stop was often planned to happen once continental europeans ologist emigration part but occasionally by another emigrating to brazil from the 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 of the welsh for either and her 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 present the, the mice. and you're 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. uh in the volume of apple leaks. and there were lots of families of farmers who wanted to continue working in agriculture when seen a 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 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 to brazil a 100 years out. and then people would be crammed together for several months. and the see of a lack of wind, the food supplies running out. and heaven forbid an outbreak of disease detach would simply be thrown overboard. the in 1824. these 1st emigrants travelled 11000 kilometers to a completely new and another one was an 18

o 8. the portuguese royal family had also landed the fleeing napoleon and his army . the country had been independent since 1822 rooms by don't petra, the 1st and his wife leo po dina from austria to come to bags. response the populated south of the country and defend data against naples, uruguay, and argentina. brazil, recruited foreign colonists was much of a skill level. and remember, zillow open just something your pin migration was that the end of slavery was assigned to those eyes. public i well, cuz we needed on the golf the plantation of parts on it by that. what examples of the fest for sale was among the lost countries to advantage slavery until 1888 slight africans, and that the sentence worked on the countries plantations. the

shopping discover lights, 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 accept the ebony, what's good after good was why my wife's clifton says the empire of brazil actively recruited to your opinions, enticing them with free passage. and freeform exams and local taxes. by 18. 311-1000 german speaking immigrants had a right to brazil the, the 19th century governments was deeply racist. so keeping lines of formerly in slave to people of african origin was on the think of a big oh, you know, let me do the opposite. each section just get us or to say her opinion,

immigration policies cemented the idea. then 3 labor was performed by white workers and a buddhist. but that's the legacy. it has the day in the history of brazilian society, the u. s. a. and there's a complex race to stereotype that's kind of mentally associates being black in this country with slavery alone. the negative look at as you, what is the major is covered. but in fact, these in slaved men and women were the most important people in the development of the sales specialist. ringback that when slavery was abolished in 1898, how many insights people were systematically excluded by the whitening of no plan for integrating them into society? they began to free lives as a 2nd class citizens in the grubbing slumps of the big cities. even today, millions of afro brazilians live in precarious circumstances under represented in

politics, business, science, and culture. this too is a consequence of 19th century immigration policy. and it's aimed to quote, modernize and quote, the country. for truth, what advice? because it's an oil piece in progress, it was seen as tied to european i zation of customs and traditions as part of the population itself about this issue, a racist ideas played a crucial role. and the idea was a so called a white lighting of the population in a brazil that was made up of very different communities. according to the thinking of the time this was seen as negative and a hindrance to development. you got t for the d and picking on him. and that's why they wanted europeans and not just the, any european level, but especially central europeans. you guys, they were seen as virtuous, hardworking, and bishop eyes and obedient. when 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 more people there which and to them. and then there was pressure to emigrate and lloyd the feeling though i did the often to come most of and then at the beginning of the 19th century, the french and brenda pony and had time to europe. it's about 5 till 12. and he was rife, in many regions, and full hobbies 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 what's now the german states of ryan and polite tonight. z ma'am, 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 even government, the that's the bottom from queens on sale by one ocean only they were skilled farmers and also own their own houses. oh,

the lloyd people had to sell their houses to afford to immigrate, and so they went, the poorest of the poor. the money had to come from somewhere. and that's good. most young boy, goldman, you could say they were socially immobile, even the very top. they'd be better off somewhere else as all 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 have been rated and they wanted to solve social problems using integration. so to all the popular mod eclipse in the dish was, there are lots of examples of people don't like to talk about it, who is and they'll give to you the bodies really bit nice gunplay back to school today, like many places in germany. the town of simon has itself become home to immigrants in search of a better life, the back in 1820 phone, and people have huntsville cope to find that that's

a life in selling their poto and southern brazil. the then further says in men room and the father side, it's more than me. it's like this monument was erected in 1924 on the 39 1st german immigrants. she got all arrived on july the 25th 1824 in sonya poto in the state of rio. cassandra do so that's on the bank. so 3 of the cmos as well, some of them are so you'll hear the seems you think the longer cap it off the show, the off to we came here to film the area was hate, find mass in flooding. the west in the history of rio grande to to devastate is only a photo, a city of $200000.00 inhabitants and 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 the few single man arrived to towards the end of the year. the number rose to 126. they were farm is craft people and soldiers that came to cultivate the land and secured the borders. they say what they brought us was yours . you know, by today's standards. it's a big truck shooting to class. but in april 24, it was the were the entire family, their whole life was in here. i latino kiddos you might have been to probably the day is that the, the museum has collected 10000 objects 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 think the, this is the most important exhibit genteel are so can you get shows that they didn't just have practical things with them, but i took a look over it after all. this also was the most crucial thing in terms of survival . i could see that the, this is a bible from the 1765. since i seem to provide itself with sage, from the recent fonts for the museum was badly hit. centuries of immigration history submerged even 200 years ago founding a colony riots on the river proved to be a bad idea. the seymour cycle, you know, you know, the travelers who pass through reported to the provincial government that the chosen location couldn't have been worse if it. yeah. a couple of things 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. the small farm is growing crops and raising livestock. they were the pioneers of family farming, which still today supply 70 percent of brazil's food. it was a hard line, especially for women, the cheapest can conditional swap pocketing out of everyone who left their homeland and emigrated to some of the women the suffered the most and invited scott as dad is keen, 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'll error operator won't at all in mind. these are families from a region that was left extremely poor following the napoleonic wars. if once again, this was true for them which allowed the people were left in disabled traumatized because the women were the spying american family, including children, to disagree,

bab and shouting. they were absolutely really here, major might or eunice, whether in the field. so the fact or is it taught to overestimate the role of women playing in the economic bryce 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 fans or camps as in the region of dialect of homes. look at these days old stadiums come together to celebrate the you can also taste the gem and 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 do. it's 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 stop on out. johnny is palmetto g in the state of santa catalina, in the 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 psalm around palmetto. cheese still live almost the same lives man, ancestors that running fine many farms instead of launch estates. and mona cultures the among other things, the z that family pro, palm trees meeting hung 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 from fruit and tom hearts. tom had the palms and use 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 in the yeah, almost. and if the children can make money from tourism and then it sustainable

housing and then that the reason 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 is i'm going to the who's why the get into the mold. in 90 percent of the residents are of german descent german culture and language are important to you. the german is a compulsory subject to this bilingual school, the mutual my best interest. and i'm really impressed by that curiosity about how many of us and how obviously they can speak a language that i know them other tongue jerome. uh, you know,

well my dad lives with his dad lives in the tradition of schooling. please 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 the premium 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 as a church and a school categories, guys called very often the government didn't even in promises including when it came to providing an education system for the immigrant. so those are colonies, had a self funded called the galaxy. the cool. that's why for a long time, so many of them kept german is their 1st language, 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. 2 of our journey through 200 years of german brazilian history, the
