the mapped out shows the geo political reality. the on the board is what makes things the way they are mapped out, navigating a changing world. now on youtube, the 200 years of german migration to personnel, since they came to jung 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 ok. well, i know making that i'm and i'm from southern brazil, and i was a journalist in germany origin, which is why my son wants emigrated from you. i want to take you want to johnny

will spending a 200 years of german immigration in brazil. dialing maya, who but as you the it's i have family in brazil and germany. i 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? yes, my heart was pounding and how people's minds, the shaped my history. porch with progress was seen as tied to european eyes ation . not just of customs and traditions, but 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. but for your grand to do so, places i had visited with the camera crews, were piece of must in football, which is just days later. people would lose that homes and sometimes even that lives the spot journey begins before best modem, 1000 kilometers. if the north south palo is in the mega city melting pot 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 on asia. others would come to consent to brazil as slaves. around 1900, the city experienced a huge influx of immigrants, new comes drove industrialization and up and nice ation. the focus of the country

is 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 arrived. retiring immigrants, the zeros 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 wasted under nichols productive on. so it was built to comfortably house 2 to 3000 people. but 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 a foreigners to different to me. so this place reminds us of the history of

immigration as a whole. and we thought all the associated hope and suffering. and i still told them that i thought of the disability and contains all those stories i've made. and then we thought of children once, but almost no for the yet l. a. 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 $12000.00 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 that my grandma either lived here for almost 30 years until her test. in 1997 the family lost contact with my grandma sibling soft to the 2nd world war. and 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 send it to fish back to the town where my mother will replace. 3 months later, we got a reply, or 2 of my mother's sisters had already died. i, you do other 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. it will just sit there. go home says, you know, entail mice comes off the in fact the nice is in grand nice is my grandma ita live in this small town and the german state of nova saxony, one 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 socrates in my grandma's best place. just so happened that the same official was also contacted by my grandma as the german niece who was making a family tree. well, here's how it wasn't hounding. i'd finally found someone related to on the ita to you know, that's too bad 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 his 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 a father and a siblings? the one of us has been what happens with the family is alive as my grandma are adopted. not so not funds like from 9 to 120 to 1925 the odd years. you can know mclee, especially here in the country side. it wasn't easy to raise children without some of the and auntie made us methodology is getting fast to toby's tom's on the ground was left alone with 5 children. so he left visually in the care of the house, so family fund for me, they hetzel became 5 days later they went to present was even those given me once in 1925 to have folks emigrated to present with initial each item she on the ship

pulled the union off coupon things to the local heritage society were 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 1st one more. many people left that homeland in this region more than a quarter of the population decided to seek better lives in the new won't stop was awesome, but i know happened once continental europe since august emigration point with a huge lead by another emigrating to brazil or blame 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 stock new lives on the other side at the well for either and a new family. the journey took them via south town on to poto, allegra in the state of rio grande are due to

the, at the german immigration center stories like that. and my grandmother are connected abroad 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. so that is a fun one in the middle class has lost their wealth and many young people. so no hope for the weimar republic in the volume of 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 what happened. the united states no longer offered freelance . in fact, the land was extremely expensive there. but in brazil that opportunity still

existed and cause even the even got to susan lucas. a to and foster parents travel for over a month. that's how long it took to cross the atlantic. and those things the copying they slept in. in 1925, we did 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 of the 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 attach would simply be thrown overboard. the in 1824. these 1st emigrants travelled 11000 kilometers to a completely new and another well, was there in 19 o h. the portuguese royal family had also landed the fleeing napoleon and his army

the country had been independent since 1822 ruled by don't petro the 1st and his wife, leo, po, dina from austria to come to bass, response default related south of the country and defend data against naples, uruguay, and argentina, brazil recruited foreign colonists, the ones much of a scale of 1000000 in personal opened. yes. um. do you have a pen migration? is that was that the end of slavery was assigned to those i, stuff like i was when needed on the gulf. the plantation was part examined by the f . what is important enough for the slaves? for sale was among the lost countries to advantage slavery until 1888 slight africans and the 2 sentence worked on the conference presentations the option to describe a light. so can see the abolition of slavery in 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 ebony, which could have to go as well, my wife's custody. so 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 government was deeply racist. so keeping lines of formally enslaved people of african origin was unmistakable. when we do the up each sections that us or to stay in europe and immigration policy cemented the idea that free labor was performed by white workers. that's the legacy. it has the

day in the history of brazilian society, the u. s. a day. and there's a complex racist stereotype that's going to mentally associates being black in this country with slavery alone. and able to look at as you, when you go to the main just because of the names that these in slaved men and women with the most import, the people in the development of the sales specialist. ringback that is a bit as when slavery was abolished in 1898, formerly in slight people, was systematically excluded by the white tenant of no plans 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 resilience live in preparing the circumstances that 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 flux with voted life because it's an oil piece of progress we've seen as tied to european isaiah of customs and traditions as part of the population itself is to share racist ideas, played a crucial role. and when 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 of the, the t for the, the victim payment. that's why they wanted europeans and not just the, any european level, but especially central europeans, guy 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 state? because it was known, there were lots of with more people there which in to and then there was pressure to emigrate and lloyd,

the funeral identity often to come home. a savannah at the beginning of the 19th century, the french and brenda pony and had time to europe into a faculty called but he was right in many regions and pull hobbies 70 my things was the same time the population was growing, which increased boot shortages and unemployment, the one example is conflict in watts. now that you, i'm in states of ryan and plot tonight, the man is a small town that still has close ties to something for sale. 200 years ago. the fast colon is set out from this area of to be active, be recruited by the present and government. the best bottom concludes that sale by one. 0, so maybe they were skilled farmers or also own 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 the 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 a windows, people have been rated and they wanted to solve social problems using immigration, the so to all the popular logic let's and dishes there are lots of examples of people don't like to talk about it, who is and they'll get to the device. going to get these guns we back to school today, like many places in germany. the town of simon has itself become home to immigrants in search of a bench, a line, the back in 1824. the people of huntsville cope to find that that's a life in selling the poto and southern brazil,

the infiniti. h. as in men room and the father of some of them is like this monument was erected in 1924 on the 39 1st german immigrants and she got all arrived on july the 25th 1824 in sonya poto in the state of rio rancho do so that on the banks of 3 of those cmos is and i'm also the result the seems to take a longer camp at us. the shows me off to we came here to film the area was find massive flooding the west in the history of rio grande ya to devastate. it's 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 a few single men arrived here. towards the end of the year, the number rose to $126.00. they were farmers, craft people and soldiers that came to cultivate the land and secured the borders. this is what they brought us fellows yours. you know, by today's standards, it's a big trunk quad throwing in 8124. it was the entire family filled their whole life with a near latino kid. as you might have been to probably the day and is that the, the museum has collected 10000 don't. jackson, 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 whether 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. i 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 hit. centuries of immigration histories submerged even 200 years ago founding a colony right on the river proved to be a bad idea. the more cycle, you know here. yes, i'm of the travelers who pass through reported to the provincial government that they've chosen location that couldn't have been worse. total balance would 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 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 resilience food. it was a hot line, especially for women, the cheapest can conditional swap, pocketed out of everyone who left their homeland and emigrated to. so the women suffered the most is to invite us because there are several letters for women who really struggle because of domestic problems. i mean that is, i'm gonna think of so many were pregnant when they emigrate at home. after that, they had to look under 516, sometimes as many as 10 children business to business. i mean it. so hopefully that will arrow, but i don't want that in mind. these are families from a region that was left extremely poor following the napoleonic wars. if as you get, this was about 2 of them which allowed the people were left disabled traumatized because the women were the spine of every family shows, including for children to disagree,

bab and shouting. they were absolutely really here, major might or eunice, whether in the field. so the factories. it's hard 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, the german traditions have survived annual jobs fairs. of course, the camps as in the regional dialect of homes look to these days old recipients come together to santa france. 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 child tables. and then there's some of the things here that i do. it's like that on

sausage, low affinity. yeah, yeah, going straight to the fried pastry, the chaos they all come. a sausage near to who could ask or anything along with like, you know, somebody's not the next stop on out. johnny 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 some around palmetto. cheese still live almost the same lives man ancestors did running family farms instead of laundry states and mona congress, the among other things, the z that families grow, palm trees meeting hung at the beginning. the problems really saved people we sent in. they came out here to the jungle,

how there was nothing on the phone. com that 1st they survived by hunting animals fishing in and from fruits and palm hearts. tom had the palms and use for the building. the leaves for sleeping on the yes for that the on help. sadly see as of the 21st century bombing alone wouldn't be enough to support them. another important income source, taurus to come here to get an impression of what life was like for the 1st german immigrants, the typical mind is shifted utilities, maybe later. so my story to the tour at all, it's about to be, i think 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's sustainable housing. yeah. and then that the reason was nice without the they will leave and

move to the big city or somewhere i go to a stop and know there's a but he's thing as a 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 it was live the get into the mold in 90 percent of tomorrow. the residents are of german descent. german culture and language are important to you. the german is a compulsory subject to this bilingual school. hello, the regional medical center. i really am apprised by that curiosity about how many of us and how nicely they can speak a language that i know them other tongue jerome. uh, you know, well my dad, when you went to visit the tradition of schooling, bro, find

a german immigrants continues to have an impact. literacy rates and the regions they samples are among the highest in the country. press one for me to put the into the premium for the education was very important to the german, the 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 you guys called a google? very often the government didn't need bids and promises including when it came to providing an education system for the immigrant. so most of the colonies had a self funded called the jetta. the cool that's why for a long time and 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. up to about journey through 200 years of german brazilian history, the
