scouts 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 brazil, he sent and came to a young phone. there was nothing in search of a better life. the kid will go now. this is elder rado. this will be and i knew him, but there are stories of dreams and suffering elements with very painful stories because of all the mass because we've experienced oxygen the well, i know making that i'm and i'm from southern brazil and i was a journalist in germany which is why my son i want to emigrated from you know, i want to take, you want to john what was finding

a 200 years of german immigrations. the in brazil dialing moyer. but as you. ringback busy ringback i have a family in brazil and finding germany there was no contact between them for almost a century. my grandma eda emigrated to brazil as a small child and 1925 with foster parents. she never saw her siblings again and never met the defendants. it was only when i was working as a journalist in germany that we found each other. again. it's been those mode. i go sense of the call. we looked at each other and i thought yeah, with family this is familiar. yeah. yeah. so i can tell straight away, is this, oh, stop the of my father who fell to his mother's longing in brazil,

all his life was also have already moved fine as well. but all the hug i gave them was the hug. they could no longer give each other. oh, but i will go. i cried a lot, but i was very happy with the phil is all family history is interwoven with a history of german immigration and brazil with the waves of migration in the 19th century when poverty hunger and to span were widespread in german speaking regions. off to the napoleonic wars, the, the migration that followed in the 20th century when many sent off in search of a better life. after the 1st world war. the mice, you're always going on. most people left for economic reasons. and there were lots of families of farmers who wanted to continue working in agriculture for them. south america was a good bit. german immigrants of left

a lasting month homeless south of purcell began to explore how on this trip, the luminous, a place with a strong tradition of german immigrant culture is the 3rd largest city in the state of santa catalina. with over 360000 inhabitants its famous for its on top of fast. well, its largest off to the one in munich tracks more than $600000.00 visitors each year . calling hey, was founded in the middle of the jungle around $1850.00. my hammond blooming out a gym and pharmacist botanist and committed to call in just the historians. wiley petrie knows someone about the cities history its consent did. one of the most important centers of german immigration in brazil for

a long time german was spoken here as a lingua franca between subsequent european immigrants from places like new today and newman, i received a 5 hundreds during the ways of immigration and up in 19 twenties pretty, i bought them on a new ways on the new german grades. they weren't simply looking for a home and then all of a positive, they were professionals with technological knowledge said go, go where you see ma'am, that they wanted to re establish themselves economically. going because their capital was stronger here. that bill is dated for them to come in to put get key copies. so as far as in companies and businesses had service less that they wanted to invent, he'll invest you a bite on last week. that was great for us, for many industries were established that which brought a lot of advancement photographs when we took it in there were also target time as

well. gave our main street at the street of the 15th of november. they knew lot of working digital vans. they brought us new architecture law to difficult for something. i'm also wondering simple today. bruno is a mountain city behind the historical facade, so popular with tourist, something doc and a growing number of neo nazi groups is also a lack of acknowledgments of indigenous people who live to be full of the immigrants. and who are nearly wiped out in a brutal, moore of extermination, felt the hazy stall installer, hardly any historical record of the time. they themselves weren't able to tell their story that most of us. so we only have our version b based on what was in the newspapers and letters of the time or that. so we have the immigrants perspective, but we don't have the indigenous side of the story. it's

a very defensive issue to them because of the effective. so the, i think the world has in other regions of the southern presuming the german immigrants travel to it by river york. but this region around blooming off, for example, is also inhabited by others eisenberg, each of those people that you have again to talk to about our water. we drive 2 hours to off road into the highlands. a while to raise paper belongs to the cloud know shop claim people. she picks us up from across roads, around 2800 indigenous people live in this area. it wasn't easy to set up a meeting with walters paper. there's a lot of mistrust towards white resilience and not without reason. the trauma of colonial land grabbing. what's the cost so long shadow and you can't, i started. it's a very painful story because of all domestic has. we have experienced all the

brutality that took place here in santa kinds of rena, fashionable thought, before you can set that up on the demo infrastructure. the european settlers built to the right to the conflicts with the indigenous population and bloody crashes. brazil's indigenous people faced the superior weapons of the colonists. the government soon hired mercenary troops, known as boat could add a us. indigenous men were killed by women and children were enslaved or forced into sax walk. to thoughts of the indigenous population were wide town the watch out. it says that at the end of the 1920s, there were only about $100.00 indigenous people left in the region to start a scan key. these are very difficult stories to tell us a century on the indigenous people here are still fighting for land rights against

some very powerful opponents. you as you bubble this all is going. the wind people don't understand why that the area has always belonged to us. you know, it's the arguments as a way to set the indigenous people want the land, but they don't cultivated airport. can navigate ever understood about all relationship to the land stopping cause the most different to that. so if the white one, the method you faded into, the, you once a piece of land, so you, you can build something on that. so grow something and says, oh, that's what i want. we, i want to preserve the not because the arrow it breathes depends on is the river that runs through here depends on the aisle. if i don't, because of it now we're going to be able to drink some water res, clean a new. you can stay. you want to sit down that. mm hm. okay, so now what is the name of that completely different visions of one but on the meeting was for the past and they don't. and so this has almost great

yourself for that, for my people, as you know, and we're still suffering today's suffering. we just those suffering with you. and for me, why don't you? it is pre paint is an archaeologist, an expert in indigenous history and building practices. she's the 1st woman from her community to an a doctor, and she's determined to preserve the culture, the shock cling cane gang, and quite a need people who still live in this area. for a long time. the white routing class bind them from practicing their traditions, even speaking the language today and there's bilingual school. the children are taught in both portuguese and shop playing. they even sing the brazilian national anthem in indigenous language. the

youth always from about that with my role is to encourage others and to keep serving the small things your life, assuming i'm delighted that these seats are being assigned in germany to emily. i of the same to of the finally how do you say, right, thank you can log on over to god me, let them know that. okay. okay. all right, thank you very much. you can, they've got most people in germany have probably unaware of the roles of german immigrants played in the wall as extermination. that almost white town indigenous people have something for sale and present itself the issue as long comstock. even today it's still a to bu topic in many places. i

know a lot of resilience students else's to this of people in academia who are really critically aware. i've got the mission by a need when he visited me once of either a but the average person on the street on isn't generally like that us. yeah. nice . you been, they'll say something like we, germans, we were actually the better kind of brazilian, i can do my best with him, but i think we were hard at working flies. we were the ones who made the country airable them off as a visa and i've had this narrative of german colonization and a german achievement in brazil is still very dominant. compete not to the model, how i think that as we speak a lot of the items like on the one hand, some of these, of course, these immigrants did achieve things like that. this kind of, nobody can deny that a, it's not sending something, but you can't just ignore the crimes that were committed to that or say that the people who suffered were just collateral damage. that's as hard as could not divide shop

the backend. can't open them in the rio grande reduces and visiting my family. like anywhere else in the world. the kitchen is the center of my father, my sister in law, my brother, my mother, make man a's. so my niece is hiding somewhere. that she is a typical sunday lunch with the family drama and potato salad made using grandma's recipe. of course. as brazilian grilled meat, we have the best of both conscious. even though my grandmother left germany when she was less than 5 years old, she never lost a sense of being german, but losing old contact with her family after the 2nd world war was traumatic. warrington thorough sanchez, it was really interesting to me. my mother's family,

a low spot is the meal mine the pork no. as well by father. my father died, but my mother was very sad. dollar my. she was always home sick for germany. you know my father in law. i never, i'm leaving german law when there was soccer on, which you bought it. always say i'm going for brazil or but i'm going for germany. more garbo latoya. i was actually remains the german i set off to search for the house. when my grandmother lived into my grandfather, died in 1969. the one of my cousins shows me the way my paternal grandparents once worked as promise into slanting about 50 kilometers from kemp of bone lighted a run, a store that sold. i buy cultural products which eventually burned down today the

house when my grandmother raised 10 children is in ruins. and anyways, my grandmother's life is typical of the german settlers of southern brazil. they often let you know, installation for their own social instructions. their own schools charges cultural cops, a newspapers over time that net to offer present hands accusing them of not integrating or was forming break away selves within the present in states. that's a comment on the thoughts co split. always thoughts on never also policies relating to german. this that came from germany itself is that the article attempts to solidify maintains them and culture and language among the immigrants does have done that. so that also contributed to the idea that they were socially isolated in stock. or the but if you look closer and i'll see it's much more complex if you think of that, there was dressed as much assimilation of integration and contact. so as i was i solution and how much in those communities these oh is when you get to the flight.

when will be, you know, who is he doing coming? i made frederick schultz at the ip and real american institute invalid. he's an expert on german society, is southern for sales, as well as the complex that arose between german immigrants and the present in states. by the time of the fast, well voice is warning of a threat from germany, the growing ever allowed to evict. these are the by the world wars intensify these to be. one of the questions of a german threatened with in brazil was not in debates about political measures to combat such a threat. for the to, for moslem brazil declared war on germany and both one or the so there was also a question of internal security. so that's just an open. now at the same time i get it in the riots by brazilians targeting german businesses and brazilian ships were sunk by german new boats from the batch fanned the flames of the husband that the brazilian government then closed german speaking institutions and banned the german

language press dodge by the institute cylinders, lawson happened dollar deductible. i go because of the board at the end of the 19 twenty's, quite a few immigrants of german descent sympathized with the national socialist. same germany local nazi chapters were founded. brazil had the largest nazi biology outside germany, children saying nazi anthem's and schools and used by georgia mogan was one of hitler's most important propaganda tools among the german community. initially present in present undergrad, tonio vall, gash sympathized with europe specialist. but in the run up to the 2nd world war functions, step top assimilation efforts under pressure from the americans. technology policy was banned. german cops and schools were closed. speaking german was no longer allowed. one of this affected my grandmother to

denver darma called there was a supervisor in the shop who wouldn't allow us to speak german, don't official, everything with mark outside sourcing all. if people wanted salt or flour, they've pointed to them, so they weren't permitted to say the german worrying it to the picking up and you'll fall all not inside. and i think it's after the 2nd world war contact with germany had broken off in some of the cases of it had been very important for institutions like german speaking and schools and the church. and all younger people and money were sent over to retain the culture. but of course this reputation had been marred by the war and in the emerging knowledge about the holocaust along this one. that's not going to you. i'll just buy another factor was the highly nationalist brazilian regime of the startle novo, the advisor to you about a guess, just because you put a stop to those effort last night and ensure that state one schools were set up in these areas. and then i noticed on nobody in my family speaks guy anymore except me

. my parents generation didn't learn the language promptly and didn't policy don't often. well, it took decades for the next generation to begin to take an interest in that job and family history. again, the research, the cemetery and hold on to the grace of german names on my grandmother's foster parents that had songs that buried here so is my grandma eat a meal for my grandmother passed away. 1997 have been thoughtful. she died. she tried to make contact with her sisters in germany,

but unfortunately she didn't use excel. let's look at my city and half a story each other again, the last 21 of her niece has came in to visit her grades. when i was a very emotional moment to launch the 2 years out of my father had been to germany and had met his german cousins for the 1st time rang quantum was a sign of the place i met. my mother is close relative of mine for multiple very emotional. i felt just uh, gave them was the hug. they could no longer give each other up. it'll solve a google for the cry and a lot, but i was very happy we it cleansed my soul. uh, what were the kids going for that is the level i'm the century off to my grandmother had to

leave a german family behind the 2 branches of the family all connected. once again, the link is made a brazilian living in germany. we travel back to south town for a special chapter in the history of the german immigration this is the most as you tyco to solve the problem forming a synagogue. it's now per sales launch just all kinds of jewish history. jewish immigrants have lived here since the 16th century. at the beginning of the 20th century, a large number of migrants arrived, playing paul crumbs and russia and eastern europe. the nazis came to a pallet in germany in 1933. from then on brazil became one of the key south american countries for jewish refugees alongside the dodge and tina. shortly afterward, santano's jewish community launched in a program to help the exxon's this image up. i mean for mass on to the bottom. we

immediately set to work welcoming for children and mother is just has to be mind is present. sometimes mothers came without their husband, somebody who were fighting or were and concentration can have to understand or going. they found it to children's home so that the women and can't go to work spots and stuff like that. it is food don't like us to be honest with them. they founded an association to support them. and they also collected donations as well, so that others i've had to terminate could also con, uh, it is 5, a fundraising properties. as it alters lemoine, skipped some pieces intervene in that period. 16000 jewish immigrants found a new home in brazil, mainly in booming south power of professional experience. they brought with some helps, but economic development, or the reaching economic costs of mazda in brazil. what people don't know is the south town, always the biggest german industrial city outside germany, only established german companies have them. that's an american headquarters here.

some of them have been in the country for over a century. they create 250000 jobs in south pano email. so there are a huge number of gem and companies operating in brazil and influencing the economy . but i do want to say it is about the edge without the way 200 years after the 1st germans, democrats, you to present migration is now coming in the other direction. according to a study by the present and foreign ministry, 160000 personally. and so now live in germany, diana santa, she plans as a nurse, an intensive cat kidney clinic, all settings shara state university hospital, germany urgently need specialists line tie on the government recruits people from brazil, just like the brazilian government, once recruited germans. us from re a, is lived in germany for almost 2 years. that is what more

difficult to have or i'm presenting, what difference is on it as the way. so as you, feelings has because imagine it's more difficult here. people today because of the cause of the language by you, the work itself is very similar to present. so depending on where you work. oh, but it's in my case, it's intensive care hasn't that that, but the language problems make everything more to my eyes. i can still building work if i still difficult book much want to called make yeah. how people who want to work in germany receives to be mental, this a specialist giving for about an hour to you know, so you're not prepared equal to the cost of the language to because of that language. because of that because of the language for the lack of housing, the means 2nd, the eminence and bureaucracy boys and also the lack of openness domain. a diana has also experienced racism while working in another hospital position. so welcome to sherri to a university hospital was a deliberate one. your decision

to shut it there? i decided to come to the chair. okay. because of the people here are inclusive skills sake and was here. i have colleagues from all over the world. news of every one of the or is very patient with me. oh god is doing. if we could start was speaking german, we can try and english or we can try again in german and what and they speak of it slower. don't some of them on that. so that was just one second following blaze. we found them there are a lot of difficult people on population by guy, but there are also a lot of really nice people. the. so is your position where the change the position best thing to the guys back in rio de janeiro, tyanne and sometimes worked in several hospitals at the same time in order to be able to afford vacations. in the end, she emigrated to full financial reasons. so i st. jude to talk about going back to brazil one day though. but as you and you know, i feel very much it has a apple as much as i love brazil. i have no intention of going back to germany has

gone from a country of emigration to a country of immigration. according to the german government, 21000000 people here have a history of the immigration, including me. partners really impossible from my best country. what are the german possible because of my ancestry, that it seems to me 1st and foremost with fine brazilian era. and that's where i was born angry, a lot of the is supposed to forward his passport, connect me to german society. i mean, especially when i go to about this, the thing just lot of my ancestors who emigrated to brazil, something like to set out, but it is a company that was, you know, 5 to g design. that was a migration is always being positive, as well as at ways will be because things are processing you can afford the
