john and will spanning a 200 years of german immigration in brazil. dialing maya, who but as you it's i have family in brazil and germany. they had no contact for almost a century. it wasn't until many years off to my grandmother's dad. owns a lot of 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 here my heart was pounding and how people's mind so shaped my history. parts with progress was seen as tied to europe and i zation 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 home state of rio grande to do so. places i had visited with a camera crew would be so much didn't floodwaters 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 in a mega city melting, pumped, and the cultural and economic call to a brazil attempt to more than 12000000 people. over the centuries, people have come here from complex countries. some came voluntarily from europe or asia. others with comforted, incentive, brazil, as slaves. around 1900, the city experienced a huge influx of immigrants, new commons drove industrialization and up an ice ation by the focus of the

countries immigration museum located on an historically significant railroad line. yeah it is that the main truck right here on this platform is where trains from the point of santos arrived. retiring immigrants sort of seals immigrants but across from 1887 until the 19 seventy's. this was brazil's largest home immigrants, people's luggage would be disinfected. here, new arrivals would be registered and given medical checks, the wasted, under nicholas for the stove was built a 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 it that there was a fear of epidemics and a foreigners to just to me. so this place reminds us of the history of immigration

as a whole. and we bought all the associated hope and suffering. he got the old one that i thought of the disability and contains all those stories of the children was put on with those for that. yep, ela arkell, more the for the started getting multiple fires broke out in the 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 that my grandma either lived here for almost 30 years until her tax. in 1997 the family lost contact with my grandma siblings off to the 2nd well on. the 198 is my father attempted to track down our relatives in

germany on successfully the. in portugal, i wrote a letter in portugal, most of which my mother translated into german. we sent it to fish back to the town where my mother will replace my 3 months later we got a reply for 2 of my mothers, sisters had already died. i do have their mo, helped you in front of her brother had died in the war and there was no information about the 3rd time you also i'd be more than when i gave them you know, so all contacts had been lost. so just sit there, 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 of noah saxony. and one thing we have in common with offers 1000000

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 store. it is in my grandmas best place. just so happened that the same official was also contacted by my grandmas german nice who was making a family tree. well yes, can i how it wasn't hounding. i 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 an upgrade to 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. it is grandson, she suddenly has a present in,

in the family. most of my grandmother was born in this small town in north, in germany. she was baptized in this church. but 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, say from 9 to 120 to 1925 the odd years. you cannot make me, especially here in the country side. it wasn't easy to raise children without some of the grand onto does methodology is getting best to toby's tom's on the ground was left alone with 5 children. so he left visually in the care of the helps oak family from the, from the they had all the game. 5 days later they went to present was even those live on the know once and 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 1st of all, many people left that homeland in this region, 12 and 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 ologist immigration point but occasionally by another emigrating to brazil from 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 stock new lives on the other side of the welsh for e to and to a new family. the journey took them via south town on to poto, allegra in the state of rio grande to do so

the at the german immigration center stories like that to my grandmother. all collected and brought to life between 19201930, almost 75000 germans emigrate to, to present the, the mice. and you also the most people left for economic reasons and the economic crisis. hitler 1923. so that is just 11, you know, the middle class has lost their wealth and many young people. so no hope for the weimar republic in the volume of it 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, bad type of what can 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 kazi didn't that didn't got to susan lucas cut into a 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 earlier. then people would be crammed together for several months and see if 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 unknown well was here and 18 o 8. the portuguese royal family had also landed the fleeing pneumonia 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 the populated south of the country and defended against naples, uruguay and argentina. brazil recruited foreign colonists, the ones that much of us can. i have one read and brazil opened to us. um to get our pin migration here. so it was that the end of slavery was assigned to illinois . i stomach, i was when needed on the golf the plantation off or examined by the f. what example that's part of the reason for sale was among the last countries to abolish slavery, until 1888 slight africans, and the 2 sentence worked on the countries plantations. the options describe a light, so 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 clifton says the empire of brazil actively recruited to your opinions, enticing them with free passage and reforming the end and local taxes by 18. 3111 south german speaking immigrants had a right to brazil the, the 19th century government was deeply racist. so keeping lines of formerly in slave to people of african origin was on the single don't, you know, let me do the up each section. so to say her opinion, 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. and there's a complex race to stereotype that's going to mentally associates being black in this country with slavery alone and able to look at as you one of the main chairs. but in fact, these in slaved men and women with the most import these people and the develop new, the sales specialist, the as when slavery was abolished in 1998, formerly in slaves, people were systematically excluded by the white tenant of no plan for integrating them into society, they began to free lives as a 2nd class citizens in the grubbing slums of the big cities. even today, millions of astro brazilians live in preparing circumstances. the 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 life because it's an oil piece of progress we've seen as tied to european eyes ation of customs and traditions of the population itself about this issue, 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. according to the thinking of the time this was seen as negative and a hindrance to development, you got to you for them to be and victim payment. 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, and obedient. wouldn't 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

and 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 faculty talbot, he was rife in many regions and full hobbies, 79 things west of the same time, the population was growing which increased food shortages and unemployment. the one example is conflict, and once now the german states of rhineland plat tonight, the man is a small town that still has close ties to something for sale. 200 years ago. the 1st colon is set out from this area to be actively recruited by the present and government. the last bottom concludes that sale by one ocean only they were skilled farmers, are also own their own houses. oh, 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 was the way i called them. you could say they were socially mobile, even the, they felt they be better off somewhere else. those are 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. 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 give to you the bice being a bit nice. gunpoint back to school today like many places in germany. the town of simmons 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 then further it says in men room and the father side, it's more like this monument was directed in 1924 on the 39 1st german immigrants and she got all arrived on july the 25th 1824. it's only a powder 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 cap with us the show they all have to we came here to film the area was find massive flooding the west in the history of real ground to it, to, 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 secure the borders. this is what they brought as little as yours. you know, by today's standards, it's a big trunk quadrant. 8124. it was the entire family filled their whole life with a near latino head, as you might have been to probably the day. and is that the the museum has collected 10000 don't jacks. and thousands of documents to sports and music equipment is especially important to the germans. the immigrants also brought something else with them to brazil,

that protestant religious beliefs and whether 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, dismissal was the most crucial thing in terms of the survival of 60 the. this is a bible from the 1765, and they seem to provide itself with sage, from the re some slots, but the museum was badly hit. centuries of immigration histories submerge even 200 years ago. founding a colony right on the river proved to be a bad idea. the more cycle you do here is i'm of the travelers who passed through reported to the provincial government that the chosen location couldn't have been worse. video zillow balance would disappear every time the river flooded to view the town would be under water stock. for all 3 co trash boss has written several books about the german immigrants and their 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 suffice 70 percent of brazil's food. it was a hard line, especially for women who are going to give you the skin conditional swap pocketing out of everyone who left their homeland and emigrated to. so the women suffered the most do things. i just kind of as that is and 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 $516.00 so many times as many as 10 children made of cubicles for me to so hopefully that will iraq. 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 the top 2 of them which allowed the people were left disabled traumatized because the women were the spine. and by way, families, including children. to disagree bab and shouting, they were absolutely relay here,

major might or you know, 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 the want 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 as opposed to camps as inter regional dialect of homes. look at these days old recipients come together to celebrate 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 childhood. and then there's some of the things here that i do. it's like that on

sausage. but the boat for that here. yeah. posters don't who the fried pastry the can watch. 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 sump tropical region. in total. about 300000 germans found a new home in brazil the some around palmetto. cheese still live almost the same lives that ancestors did running family farms instead of laundry states. and mona congress, the, among other things, the z that family row, palm trees meeting hung at the beginning, the problems really saved people we sent in. they came 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 as 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, taurus to come here to get an impression of what life was like for the 1st german immigrants, the people 1000 minus the shifted utilities maybe later. so my story to the tour at all, it must be, i think i tell them how we live, where we came from and housing some change in the yeah, almost. and if the children can make money from tourism and then it sustainable housing. yeah. and then the authorities 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 is all vid shopping. 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 is live again to molten 90 percent of tomorrow. the residents are of german descent. german culture and language are important in the german is a compulsory subject to this bilingual school, the mission medical center. i'm really impressed by that curiosity about how many of us and how easily they can speak a language that i know them other tongue jerome. uh, you know, well my dad, what you meant to say is 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 attention to prepare 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 the school categories. you guys called 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 colonies had a self funded called the, the protocol. that's why for a long time, so many of them kept german is their 1st language, not fortunately. you know what 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
