as we say they're about never getting up every weekend on dw, the 200 years of german migration temper sales incentive and came to a young 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 work as

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 immigrations in brazil. dialing maya who but as you. 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 present as a small child and 1925 with foster parents. she never saw her siblings again, 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 for me area. yeah. yeah. so i could tell straight away, is this, oh,

stop the of my father who fell to 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 and brazil with the weights 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 after the 1st world war. the mice y'all was 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. the last thing ma, columbus south appraisals 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 largest off to the one in unit attracts more than $600000.00 visitors each year. calling hey, was founded in the middle of the jungle around 1850 my hammond, blooming, know a german pharmacist botanist and committed to call in just the historians. wiley petrie knows someone about the cities history. it's gonna,

it is one of the most important incentives 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 at the exchange of ways of immigration up in 1923 . i bought them on a new ways on the near germans. they weren't simply looking for a high month 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, 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 photograph when we took it in. there were also part time as well, gave our main street at a street of the 15th of november and they knew lot of working digital van. they brought us new architecture law to definitely something that most of what people today bloom and now is a modern city behind the historical facade, so popular with tourists. there's something doc and 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, more extermination, felt the hazy stall installer, hardly any historical record of the time. they themselves weren't able to tell their story, but most of them, so the kids, we only have our version b based on what was in the newspapers and letters at the time or not. so we have the immigrants perspective. we don't have the indigenous

side of the story. it's a very defensive issue to them because they're gonna buy the effective. so the single manuals as in other regions of the southern presuming the german immigrants gravity it by river as you're working with this region around blooming off, for example, as also inhabited by others as emerald agent. as people that you have are going to talk to about our daughter, we drive 2 hours off road into the highlands. why don't you raise paper belongs to the club? no shall 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 walsh on his paper. there's a lot of mistrust towards white resilience and not without reason. the trauma of colonial lines grabbing what's causing so long shadow and you can't, i started,

it's a very painful story because of all domestic has to be the experienced all the brutality that took place here in santa council, rena, that's blue. thought before, you can set that up on the demo infrastructure. the european settlers built for the right to the complex, with the indigenous population and bloody crashes, brazil's indigenous people faced the superior weapons of the colonists. the government soon, hyatt mercenary troops, known as boot, could add a us, indigenous men were killed while the women and children were enslaved, or forced into sax walk. to thoughts at the indigenous population were wide town, the why don't you out? it 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 the indigenous people here are still fighting for land rights against some very powerful opponents. georgia bobo, this all is going, the wine people don't understand why that the area has always belonged to us. you know, it's the argumentative of ways that the indigenous people want the land, but they don't cultivated it, but can every day, as i understood that all relationship to the last, i've been cause the most different to that of the white, the method you fit into the you once a piece of land so you can build something on that's a gross of a thing 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 the water. ok res. clean a new. you can stay. you understand that? mm hm. okay. so preserved by name will say that completely different visions of one,

but um its meaning was quoted by the mill don't. and so this has almost great and sorry for that, for my people as you know, and we're still suffering. today's suffering, windows doors suffering with you in 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 one a doctor and she's determined to present the culture. the shock cling kane 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. claim they even sing the brazilian national anthem in indigenous language

the youth always from know patel 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 have the finally how do you say great, thank you. good luck on nobody got me, let them know that. okay. okay. all they got. thank you very much. you can the got most people in germany are probably unaware of the roles. the german entrance played in the wall as extermination that almost white topped indigenous people of southern brazil and presented itself. the issue was long comstock. even today it's still a to boot topic in 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 by the name when he visited me once of either of them, but the average person on the street on isn't generally like that. yeah, nice you been, they'll say something like we, germans, we were actually the better kind of brazilian. like if you my best of him, 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 the german achievement in brazil is still very dominant. explain that to the model why they've gotten so used to go while a lot of the items like this. on the one hand these, of course, these immigrants did achieve things less lice that this kind of nobody can deny that a it's any 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 let's as often as could not divide shop the backend compo, palm 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 managers. and my niece is hiding somewhere that she is a typical sunday lunch with the family to 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 the sense of being german, but losing old contact with her family after the 2nd world war was traumatic.

warrenton 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. my father in law, i never had the young 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 5 minutes into slanting about 50 kilometers from cam. postpone 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 in ruins. and anyways, my grandmother's life is typical of the german settlers of southern brazil. they often lived in nice solutions for their own social instructions. their own schools, charges cultural clumps. newspapers of a time dot 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 to support a ticket. always thoughts on never also policies relating to german as that came from germany itself. the difficult attempts to solidify and maintains them a 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 isolates on and how much in those communities these, oh is when you get to the flight, when will the university doing coming? i may try to reach you. it's uh, the ip, the rental american institute, invalid. he's an expert on german society. it's southern brazil, as well as the complex that arose between german immigrants and the present in states. by the time of the 1st world war, voices warning if a threat from germany were growing ever allowed. that these are the bottom 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. cletus, the moslem brazil declared war on germany and both won lower speed than you know, there was also a question of internal security. so that's just an open. at the same time, i get it in the riots by brazilian targeting german businesses and brazilian ships were sunk by german new boats from the batch fan,

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 lost nothing dollar deductible, like a principal. 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 sang nazi anthems 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, tony, of all cash 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 special. everything was 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 to the picking up and you'll fall all i'm not inside the bag 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 young people and money were sent over to retain the culture. but of course this reputation had been marred by the ward women in the emerging knowledge about the holocaust on this one. that's what i meant to you. i'll just buy another factor was the highly nationalist brazilian regime of the style novo, the advisor to you about guess was even it put

a stop to those effort that's not to them and insure that state when schools were set up in these areas, and i enjoy 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. so my grandmother's foster parents, the hand songs are buried here. the so is my grandma

you know, for my grandmother passed away 1997. i've been thoughtful. she died. she tried to make contact with her sisters in germany, but unfortunately she didn't use excel as look at my city and a 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 stuff. just got available that i gave them was the hug. they could no longer give each other a, but i'll solve. i moved to florida and i cried a lot, but i was very happy we it cleansed myself a lot more for the kids going for this is a love. well, i'm here at the century

off to my grandmother had to leave german family behind the 2 branches of the family all connected. once again, the link is make a brazilian living in germany. we travel back to south town for a special chapter in the history of german immigration. this is the most have shoot tyco to south power forming a synagogue. it's now presents launches 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 po 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 afterwards, santano's jewish community launched in

a program to help the exxon's latest image of i mean mass on to the bottom of the immediately set to work welcoming for children and mother is supposed to just have been mines is for. so sometimes mothers came without, their husbands might eat, who were fight in or where and concentration can have to understand or going. so they found at the children's home so that the women and can't 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. they also collected donations so that others i've had to add germany could also cause it is 5, a fundraising rep with this as it alters lemoine. could somebody, susan levine, 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 economic development. reaching out to all the content 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 not to in 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 german democrats who to present migration is now coming in the other direction. according to a study by the present and foreign ministry, 160000 persons williams and now live in germany. diana santa, she plans as a nurse, an intensive cat kidney clinic, all settings. shara tay university hospital, germany urgently need specialist 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, as 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, hasn't that, but the language problems make everything more to my eyes. i can still dialing work if i still difficult, but much want to called make yeah. how people who want to work in germany receives to be mental, this a specialist giving for a while back, 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 means, 2nd, the eminence bureaucracy toys and also the lack of openness domain of china has also experienced racism while working in another hospital position. so welcome

to sherri to a university hospital. was a deliberate want to shut it there. i decided to come to the cherry table because of the people here are inclusive skills sake and was here. i have colleagues from all over the largest of every winter. there is very patient with me. oh god is doing. if we could stop was speaking german, we can try and english or we can try again in german. what and they speak of it slower. don't some of them on that. so that was just gonna say the following, blaze. we've done wrong. there are a lot of difficult people on population, a guy. but there are also a lot of really nice people. the so is your decision mother thinks the miracles are position based things and the guys are back in rio de janeiro, tyanne and sometimes worked at several hospitals at the same time in order to be able to afford vacation. in the end, she emigrated to full financial reasons, 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 f o 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, the partners letting the impossible for me, my best country, one of the gentleman, passport because of my ancestry, that it seems to me 1st and foremost assign brazillian era and that's where i was born angry, wanted see, suppose a ford is possible, connect me to german society. i mean, especially when i go to boat. that's the thing. just lot of my ancestors who emigrated to brazil, something like to set out, but it is the company, the well, you know, 5 to g, just find out migration is always being positive as well in ways roby, because things are processing, they can afford the
