the 200 years of german migration to brazil, he sent and came to a young. there was nothing. in search of a better life, the backyard will go down. this is elder otto. this will be 9 years old, but there are stories of dreams and suffering elements with very painful stories because of all domestic because we've experienced oxygen . well i know maybe that i'm and i'm from southern brazil and i was a journalist in germany origin, which is why my son and i want to emigrated from your i want to take you want to

john and will spanning a 200 years of german immigration in brazil, dialing maya who but as you the. 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 in 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 because this is, oh, stop of my father who felt his mother's longing in brazil,

all his life was almost have already moved fine as well. but all the hug i gave them was the hug. they could no longer give each other all the google. i cried a lot, but i was very happy when to fill is all family history is interwoven with a history of german immigration in brazil. with the waves of migration and 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 off to the 1st world war mice. you're always good on the 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. the last thing mom called us south appraisal,

began to explore how on this trip, the illuminati, 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 french on top of fast well largest officer, the one in munich attracts more than $600000.00 visitors each year, calling me hey, was founded in the middle of the jungle around $1850.00 my hamlin blooming. know a german pharmacist, a botanist, and committed columnist the historians. wiley, petrie, knows the found the cities history. it's 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 fire that burns during the ways of immigration and the 1923 . i bought them on a new ways on the new germans. they weren't simply looking for a home. i then all of applied, they were professionals with technological knowledge said go, go where you see man. so 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 out as far as in companies and businesses had service. let's do that. they wanted to invent healing this to 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 get in there,

we're also army diabetes or 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 guest or something. them off the phone today room and now it's a modern city behind the historical facade, so popular with tourists. there's something doc, a growing number of neo nazi groups. there's 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 story installer, hardly any historical record of the car. they themselves weren't able to tell their story that most of you. so do 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, we don't have the indigenous side of the story. i get the funds that are issued to

them because they're gonna buy the effective. so the, i think, as in other regions of the southern presuming the german immigrants travel by river york. but this region around blooming off, for example, is also inhabited by other ties. invitation is people that you have again to talk to them outside 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 cost so long shadow. you can buy started. it's a very painful story because of all domestic has. we've experienced all the

brutality that took place here in sunset kinds of rena. that's blue. thought before you can set that up on the demo infrastructure. the european settlers built to try to the complex with the indigenous population. in bloody crashes, brazil's indigenous people faced the superior weapons of the colonists. the government soon hired mercenary troops known as bo could add a us. indigenous men were killed. both women and children were enslaved or forced into sax work. 2 thirds of the indigenous population were wide town. the washington says that at the end of the 1920s, there was 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 indigenous people here are still fighting for land rights against some

very powerful opponents. you as you bubble, this all is going to wind. people don't understand why that the area has always belonged to us. you know, is the arguments as a ways to save the indigenous people want the land, but they don't cultivated ok. nobody 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 gross something and says, oh, that's what i want to 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 is of it now, we're going to be able to drink some water in res, clean a milk. you can stay, you want to sit down that. mm hm. okay. so nobody's ever name will say that completely different visions of one, but i'm, it's meeting was for the past and they don't. and so this has almost

great. and so for that, for my people as you know, and we're still suffering today's suffering. we just those suffering with you in for me on my lunch on his pre paint is an archaeologist, an expert in indigenous history and building practices. she's the 1st woman from her community to one a doctor. it's and she's determined to present the culture, the shock cling, came 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

bell. my role is to encourage others and to keep serving the small things your life, assuming i am delighted that these seats are being assigned in germany to emily. i of the same to have the vinyl. how do you say great, thank you can log on over to godaddy, let them know that. okay. okay. all right, thank you very much. you can the got most people in germany, i probably unaware of the role of the german entrance plate and 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 boot topic and many places.

i know a lot of brazilian students else's to this of people in academia who are really critically aware. i've got the admission device and when he visited the notes of either of them, but the average person on the street isn't generally like that. yeah, nice. you've been. they'll say something like, we, germans, we were actually the better kind of brazilian, i can do my best with him. we were hard at working flies, we were the ones who made the country airable them rough as these. and i've had this narrative of german colonization and determine achievements in brazil is still very dominant, not to the model, how highly that is supposed to go quite a lot of the items like this. on the one hand, 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. looks as hard as could not the body shop.

the backend can't open them in the rio grande reduces on visiting my family like anywhere else in the world. the kitchen is the center of the my father, my sister in law, my brother, my mother make man a's. and my niece is hiding somewhere. that she is a typical sunday lunch with the family. german potato salad made using grandma's recipe of course. as brazilian grilled meat, we have the best of both cultures. 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 spot in the meal mine with no as well by following my father died of a word. my mother was very sad dollar my. she was always home sick for germany. you know my point. oh, i never, i'm leaving german law when there was soccer on which ball you'd always say i'm going for brazil or but i'm going for germany more garber latoya i was actually remains german. i set off to search for the house when my grandmother lived until my grandfather died in 1969. the one of my cousins shows me the way my paternal grandparents once worked as pharmacy and slanting about 50 kilometers from camp of bone lights at 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 the nice sedation in their own social instructions, their own schools, charges cultural clumps. newspapers of a times i know to all my present ends accusing them of not integrating or was forming break away cells within the present in states. that's what comes on the thoughts to split. it all starts on never also policies relating to german. this that came from germany, itself is a difficult attempts to solidify and maintain german 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 said together, there was dressed as much the simulation of integration and contact. so as i was isolated and how much in those communities we use,

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 info, and he's an expert on german society. it's southern for sales, as well as the complex that arose between german immigrants and the present in states. and by the time of the password. wrong voices warning of a grant from germany. the growing ever allowed to be that these are the by the world wars intensify these to be one of the questions of a german friend who was 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 nor so didn't you. so there was also a question of internal security. so the system opened up 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,

the dodge by the institute cylinders, lawson happened dealt with deductibles, like a class of about 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 out, signed germany children saying nazi anthem's and schools, and then use a bunch of morgan is one of hitler's most important propaganda tools among the german community. initially present in present, undergrad, tony, of all 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, the nazi 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 special. everything was mark outside the source in law. if people wanted salt or flour, they've linked it to them. so they weren't permitted to say the german worrying of to the quick and when you fall all i'm not inside the bag because the after the 2nd world war, a contact with germany had broken off in some of the cases. if it had been very important for institutions like german speaking schools and the church and all younger people and money were sent over to reach in the right culture. but of course, this reputation had been marked by the war and then in the emerging knowledge about the whole of cost on this one. that's not going to you, i'll just buy another factor was the highly national, this brazilian regime of the style nova the advisor to you about a guess was even it put a stop to those effort last night and ensure that state one schools were set up in these areas and then

a 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 this job and family history. again, the research, the cemetery and hold on to the grace of german name. some of my grandmother's foster parents that had songs that buried here so is my grandma eat me of all my grandmother passed away 1997. i've been thoughtful. she died. she trying to make contact with her sisters in germany,

but unfortunately she didn't use excel is gonna come by 50 and a half a slower each other again, the last 21 of her niece has came the visit her grades when i was a very emotional moment so much the 2 years old. yeah. my father had been to germany and 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 more so very emotional. a step just got available that i gave them was the hug. they could no longer give each other up. it'll solve a google for the cried a lot, but i was very happy we it cleansed my soul up where the kids going for that is the level of the century off to my grandmother had to

leave german family behind the 2 branches of the family. all connected, once again, i think is make 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 have shoot tyco to south power 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 excise this image up. i mean,

to compare something about they immediately set to work welcoming for children and mother is just have been mines is present. sometimes mothers came without their husband, somebody who were fighting or were and concentration kept on the stand or throwing they found at the children's home so that the women could go to work, spots and stuff. but yeah, it is food don't like us to be honest with them. they founded an association to support them. and they also collected donations so that others i've had to add germany could also con, it is 5, a fundraising properties as it all just mice get some pieces involving in that period, $16000.00 jewish immigrants found a new home in brazil, mainly in booming south power of professional experience they brought with some helps economic development, the virginia tanami concept 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 been not an american headquarters here. some

of them have been in the country for over a century. they create 250000 jobs and south town a lot email. so there are a huge number of german companies operating in brazil and influencing the economy. but as i said, are you still at the edge with all the way to a 100 years after the 1st germans, democrats, you to present migration is now coming in the other direction according to a study by the present in foreign ministry, $160000.00 per syrians now live in germany, diana santo, she plans as a nurse, an intensive cat kidney clinic. all settings shall retain university hospital. germany urgently need specialist line tie on the government recruits people from brazil just like the brazilian government once recruit to 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 differences on it as the way so as you fit answers. because imagine it is 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 had that that. but the language problems make everything work. oh my is additional building work if i still difficult book much want to called make yeah. how people who want to work in germany receives to be meaningful. this is specialist given by that you know, so you're not prepared. you put the costs 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 toys and also the lack of openness domain. a diana has also experienced racism while working in another hospital, a decision. so welcome to sherri to a university hospital was a deliberate one. your decision

to shut it there. i decided to come to the cherry k because the people here are inclusive skills sake and was here i have colleagues from all over the world. news of every one. there is very patient with me. oh god is doing. if we get stuff was speaking german, we can try an english or we can try again in german and what can they speak of? it's lower down, some of them on the 2nd one second following blaze. we found them there are a lot of difficult people around for commercial guy, but there are also a lot of really nice people. the. so is your pieces from other things. let me pull that up as search based 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 vacation. in the end, she emigrated to full financial reasons, so i st. jude to talk about going back to brazil one day though, but i 0 and you know, i feel very much it has the apple as much as i love personnel,
