i understand can have a saying like the vice president do you have any news on instagram to follow up the 200 years of german migration to personnel incentive and came to a young from, there was nothing in search of a better life. the kid will go down, 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 work as a journalist in germany,

which is why my son wants emigrated from you. i want to take one of the john and will spanning a 200 years of german immigration in brazil. dialing moya, 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? yeah, my heart was pounding and how people's minds, the shaped my history. for tooth progress was seen is tied to european nice agent. not just of customs and traditions. yeah. 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 home state over your ground. to do so. places i had visited with the camera crews were piece of must and sub want 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 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 line. yet is that the main check right here on this platform is where the trains from the point of santos arrived. an immigrant that sort 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 wasted under nichols productive also 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, we 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 of foreigners to get to me. so this place reminds us of the

history of immigration as a whole. and we thought all the associated copeland 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, what's that almost for the yep, l a co more the for that as we started getting multiple fines broke out in the hospital, caused by the immigrants on authorized cooking the names of 12000 democrats are engraved on the museums names. but one name i can find is that of my grandmother, edith, 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 dad, in 1997. the family lost contact with my grandma sibling

soft to the 2nd. well, the 1980s 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 was we sent it to fishback to the town where my mother, real employees, muscle memory. months later we got a reply for 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 so i can know what else i'd be more than when i gave them you know, so all contacts had been lost. the disappeared go home, says, you know, entail mice comes off the in fact the nice isn't grand nice of my grandma ita live in this small town in the

german state. typically, almost 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 thought which is in my grandmas best place. just so happened that the same official was also contacted by my grandmas german niece who was making a family tree. well yes, my heart was pounding. i finally found someone related to on the ita to you that through 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. and m 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 northern 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 happened to the family is alive is my grandma. i don't, it's not something that's fun. sick from 9120 to 1925 the odd years you can only play, especially here in the country side. it wasn't easy to raise children without some of the grand auntie made us methods deluge getting fast to toby's tubs on the ground. tom was left alone with 5 children. so he left visually in the care of the household family from the, from the they had full game. but these lights that they went to present was even those given, you know,

once in 1925 to have folks emigrated to brazil with initial each item on the ship, pulled the union ask of and 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 1st of all, many people left that homeland in this region on a quarter of the population decided to seek battle lives in the new won't stop was often time a happened once continental europeans ologist emigration part but occasionally by another emigrating to brazil from blame. awesome. she 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 her 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 collected abroad to life between 19201930, almost 75000 germans. emigrated to present the, the mice and yellowstone, and most people left for economic reasons. and the economic crisis. hitler 1923. so that is a fun one. you know, the middle class has lost their wealth and many young people. so no hope for the weimar republic uh, in the bottom of it leaks. and there were lots of families of farmers who wanted to continue working in agriculture when seen them and for them south america is a good and bad time for the united states. no longer offered free landfill,

in fact, the land was extremely expensive there. but in brazil, that opportunity still existed in cuz even though i've even got a 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. we did look some things like this, relatively comfortable. it's a far cry from the sailing congo ships that are taking 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 heaven forbid, and the outbreak of disease attached would simply be thrown overboard. the in 1824. these 1st emigrants travelled 11000 kilometers to a completely new and unknown. well,

was there in 18 o 8, the portuguese royal family had also landed the fleeing napoleon and his army and the country had been independent since 18. 22 will fight on petro are the 1st and his wife, leo, po, dina from austria to come to bass. response the prompt related south of the country and defend data against naples, uruguay, and argentina. brazil recruited foreign calling. it's so much of a scale of one without impersonal, opened yet. so i'm to europe and migration here. so it was not the end of slavery was insane. to organized public well cuz we needed on the gulf, the plantation osborne sounded by the f. what is important enough for the frederick affair for sale was among the lost countries to advantage slavery until 1888 the slave africans. and the 2 sentence worked on the countries plantations, the shoving describe a light. so could you be able,

lucian 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 one way of what success to happen is i would have to go was why my wife's clifton says the empire of brazil actively recruited to europeans, enticing them with free passage and reforming the end and local taxes by 18. 31, the left themselves in german speaking immigrants had a right to brazil the, the 19th century governments was deeply racist. so keeping lands formerly in slave to people of african origin was unmistakable. they don't, you know, let me do the opposite. each section is get us or to stay in 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 state in the history of brazilian society, the u. s. a. and there's a complex racist stereotype that kind of mentally associates being black in this country with slavery alone and able to look at as you want to the major services. but in fact, these in slaved men and women were the most import, the people, and the development of the sales specialist. the as when slavery was abolished in 1898, formerly 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 slumps of the big cities. even today, millions of afro brazilians live in preparing 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 what advice because it's an oil piece of progress. it was seen as tied to european eyes ation. when the customs and traditions of the population itself about this issue, a racist ideas played a crucial role. and 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 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 part working on ambition 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, with more people there which and to them. and then there was pressure to emigrate. lloyd the funeral, i did the often to come home a savannah. busy at the beginning of the 19th century, the french and brenda pony and had time to europe into a thoughtful talbot, he was rife in many regions and full hobbies. sunday night things was at the same time the population was growing, which increased boot shortages and unemployment. the one example is conflict in what's now the german state 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 to be actively recruited by the presenting government, the last bottom from queens on sale by one ocean they. they were skilled farmers and

also own their own houses. oh, so the lloyd people had to sell their houses to afford to emigrate, and so they weren't the poorest of the poor. the money had to come from somewhere. and that's good with young boy. yeah, goldman, you could say they were socially more while he's in the they felt 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 have been rated and they wanted to solve social problems using integration. 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 get to the device clearly bit nice guns lead 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 their poto and southern brazil the feather h. as in men room and the father, god, it's more of a man like this monument was directed in 1924 on the $39.00 1st german immigrants. she got all arrived on july the 25th 1824 in sonya poto in the state of rio grande to do so, that's on the bank. so 3 of the cmos was the result. the seems you think the longer cap it us the shows me off to we came here to film the area was his 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 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 to towards the end of the year, the number rose to $126.00. they were farmers, craft people and soldiers. they 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 trunk quad with an 8124. it was the entire family. their whole life was a near latino kid. as you might have been to probably the day 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 religion think the, this is our most important exhibit until i sure can you get shows that they didn't just have practical things with them. but i took a look over it after all of this. so 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 divided itself with sage, from the recent fonts for the museum was badly hit, centuries of immigration history submerge even 200 years ago founding a colony riots on the river proved to be a bad idea. or see more cycle, you know here. yes, i'm of the travelers who passed through reported to the provincial government that they've chosen location and couldn't have been worse. 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 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. so the women suffered the most invited scott those data scheme. 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 that home graphic that they had to look under 516 sometimes as many as 10 children we have cubic feet of 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 the top chance of them which allowed the people were left to disable alum traumatized because the women were the spying american family,

including the children. this had disagreed that been shouting, they were absolute hero. i had mentioned my idol, 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, the german traditions have survived annual charge. this of course, the camps as individual dialect of homes. look these days, oversight units come together to set up rights. you can also taste the german cultural heritage like in the cafe colonial follow sy, in morrow going to the and we think it out 1st 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 through the fried pastry, the chaos they all come. a sausage in the area who could ask for anything along with like, you know, susan might not the next stop on out. johnny is palmetto g in the state of santa catalina, any 18 sixty's germans from palmer rainy assault in this sump tropical region. in total, about 300000 germans from the new home in brazil, the psalm around palmetto g 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. the 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 at 1st, they survived by hunting animals fishing in from fruits and palm hearts. tom had the palms and as for the building, the leaves for sleeping on it will be on us for that the on helps that lucy, as of the 21st century bombing alone wouldn't be enough to support them. another important income source of the taurus to come here to get an impression of what life was like for the 1st german immigrants, the people 1000 minus the sheets, the utilities maybe later. so my story to the, to rattles is 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 sustainable

housing. and then that the reason was nice without the results so they will leave and move to the big city or somewhere i go to a stipend or the so i but he's think as a vid shot. but i think the way we're using tourism means that we can carry on. that's to see is women. 2 reasons 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 bi lingual school. * hello, the regional medical center, i'm really impressed by the queue of we also do you know how many of 1st and how nicely they can speak a language that i'm not the mother tongue and your work,

you know, well my dad lives and we just, there isn't the tradition of schooling, please find a german immigrants continues to have an impact. literacy rates and the region say samples are among the highest in the country and with customer support going to be 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 as a 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 . and so those are colonies, had a self funded called the jetta fuels have a block record. that's why for a long time, so many of them kept them. german is their 1st language. i'm not able to get you know, people 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
