the, the hot tips for your package, the manage, the code is parts affinities. check on some great the cultural memorials to boot travel regarding this shadow. some of these pop costs and video shed light on the donkey street. devastating colonial har is infected by germany across and he employed the schools, farms and destroyed lights. what is the legacy of this wide spread races,

depression? today, the screen. we need to talk about here, the stories, shadows of german colonialism. the a living in safety and freedom, exploring your identity or reconnecting with family history, or just german citizenship means. so people with different backgrounds today. the main part of the germany, even though i can have a say stuff with inside sales force and possible low was about the possible. it was also about having to choose an identity that felt like a, uh, something positive had come out. so it was so terrible history the

i missed a kind of coach, sales at home in belin, born in germany to talk his parents. she grew up with 2 languages and 2 coaches. but when it came to citizenship as a teenager, she was faced with a choice and more testing. mm hm. my mom came to me and asked, so what do you want to be gentlemen? oh, turkish. and then it took a little while to figure out what to do, how much the as a child's melissa had tucker citizenship. later she chose to apply for a german passport instead, rose at the time when she could only have one of the alpha. then instead of having to choose between 2 identities, the coaches were just talking about a possible what it was moved and that of course, yeah. so it's not a nice feeling that well not. but for me it was clear quite quickly for ms. ross

and yes, i was expect law if you would, jim and or if you was seen as jim and it was an advantage, i thought it was like, the more you fish in the best. so you off when you man to high and past the best. this to today that's changed, minister says she's parts of a generation now embracing that mixed identities and creating space for thoughts in german society. she runs a design agency focused on issues around diversity. it's name rank means cala intact. yes. and she publishes a magazine exploring jasmine tactics, culture have for me because i created this image for myself, where i'm not sitting between 2 chairs off and put on a bench. i can slide around on that. and i think that mindset has something that's missing. also in can pains on websites, in so many things. so the business really came out of a need is the focus off of the business house and stuff in germany today. well must

have said, if the population have what's known as the migration background, meaning they, or at least one of the parents, was born without german citizenship. the arrival of guesswork as in the mid 19 fifties march, the beginnings of the more types of society, the majority were from talking to came under a scheme for temporary workers to help each labor shortages most returned the many states and brought that families to join them now people with tax rates make up germany's largest minority, great. many could benefit from a recent open the door using the positive gem and citizenship. the change will also make dual citizenship possible for many more people. previously, it was an exception. like for those from the people like melissa who once had to choose between 2 nationalities and will now be able to half bucks or for the credit . it's big news by community and she wants to share it with ranks, follow as fast as i have spent in donald. okay. hold on up as a cop when preparing

a social media post, rout instagram page. that is what we want to let people know about this new lord. and then the post is also about identity and what a passport can mean to people are supposed to pass for on the board. and also does the new law allowing dual citizenship as long as the jew melissa says to the mindset used to be okay, you have to make a decision so that you can integrate better and choose to be one thing over the other. i think that was absolutely the wrong strategy. it can only ever be an advantage to have another aspect, another culture, another passport, or another language. can mark you think your thoughts 3, i would say in melissa's bell in may, go ahead and take it. she says, we should come into the supermarket and what's going on in the end of culture is what she hopes, which i'm in the future. as principal, i really want this to be something we can take for granted that we live alongside each other, many different cultures. we're living here together, but that's

a good thing that, that's not seen as a struggle or a conflict, but as an asset. so i can give advice of an asset for german society as well as its economy. the country needs more immigration and is desperately trying to attract skilled labor from abroad. and more and more people are making gemini, that long term home. in 2022, the number of people granted german citizenship had to 20 high move in a culture of them were serious. many arrived yet in 2015 off to civil war broke outs. and that homeland one of them once a countertop, almost 10 years after arriving in germany as a refugee, he's now a german such as in hub to find all of this, i work so hard to do everything you can do in germany. alice, i'm a homeless. my level kind of nice on, on kind of, i'm in the stores and getting the german passports at the end of it feels like i

finally made a tear and shaft of lots of 9 months of sledge. boy in syria age 21. along with his older brother, he's supposed to live here in belen and german and started taking piano. but he hasn't seen the rest of his family for 10 years. they close out of a home. they can come to your on us and i couldn't travel anywhere else either done . you just couldn't do it. unfortunately on that's being, that's one of them. that's the item with us. but now as like german passport makes it possible to kind of best buy in button. so nothing that's a lot to know. i just didn't have the option. so that's why it's really important to have it. me grover's taste as much of a full time product design as months that is also family embedded invalid, and stuff. top saying he launched his fast stuff up just a year off to coming to gemini, an app,

to help all the refugees navigate the countries notorious bureaucracy. now that's part of his current venture. a platform supporting fellow migrant entrepreneurs is close on the list, the noise in the i really believe that new comers in germany have a different and unique perspective on the country and structures of education. alice on knowing question of i can look at germany with fresh eyes and say this. so that's not working. and yesterday's desk. we could improve on this. and if so, this doesn't, but it's also the job and the responsibility of the german site to accept that accept kansas. i'm to allow people migrants to try out their ideas on the last name, cuttings, lots of going to allow me of eden and so on. so making society pass that that's important to me and i just knew citizenship also means he now has the right to vote. can serious months have felt politics had nothing to

offer him here. he wants to make his voice count the entire 1st part of living and working in germany. as i can take part, i can have a say stop permit inside. he's already had his 1st opportunity and a local election of the city hope warm tells nick. talk the what i'm looking forward to the next one, the federal election next year on the i'll actually be able to read the campaign posters. the parties put up around the city as a minute. they'll have a new meeting for me. he's not coming on next task. on them by tying these i can read them knowing it's also relevant to me and the heart of it. but the years on the fifty's off months assess, he'll always have his theory and identity. but german citizenship means a sense of belonging here to, or in a democracy like germany,

citizenship means rights, freedom protection, as well as responsibilities. those to become naturalized citizens who you have to declare in saying no respect and not pulse. germany's basic low or constitution. this to a mock 75 years since it was adopted in what was done west germany in may 1949. it's still the basis for unified gemini today. off to the 2nd level, the basic law was designed to prevent the atrocities of the nazi period from ever happening again. the nazi strips, juice, and other minorities are set right to full citizenship during the holocaust day and that collaborate is mad at 6000000. james, the assets are amends of his stock, bostic still shapes life in germany today. memorials like this one i remind of those who lost their lives. pick a goldsmith's jewish grandfather escapes that fate. he fled nazi germany and found

safety in england. what typically a lot decades like to she is reclaims jem and citizenship as a defendant to someone prosecuted by the nazis. that's her right under germany's basic, lo, now she lives here in portland southern citizenship. me is it 1st of the is very practical measures are, is about this little present. say it's about me been german of a meeting. i will just, it will coming go as of where i like in germany that so so about the sort of reckoning with the cost is about the citizenship is offered to me by the german constitution. so for me that's why it's such a so enforcing symbol to have been able to have some reclaimed my german citizenship. so i should have always had a right to soon to publish a book about his story. today had translates room publish that is visiting her at home and balance. i've got a couple of things. the sales from not interested in pop it because the site,

the pay and the book, the services german possible that he used to get into things and hit this ground salsa and scold schmidt with stripped of his german citizenship by the nazis for me to come in german has been pods of learning about my grandfather's life and isn't it as much states have as i come? so that's his mind where he gets carried for that he died in 1963 and i never knew him. he could never have envisage that. the honor would become german because it feels like i've made that sort of uh yeah, that so family connection it with with him. the only way that i can make a connection with a monster and stuff as well as her research and writing paper says the culture of remembrance in germany has helped to bridge the gap between that and now and that there is always a tension there. and like i say that i found that german people by and large,

you know, that history really helps me overcome that tension. they also trying to understand, trying to as not to guess what happens and maybe try and learn from the past learning from the past. unfortunately, new beginnings, german citizenship, passports and politics. but more than that, people, and a place to call home and with almost 85000000 citizens. there's no one way to be jasmine, the drama specialist operating so makers are becoming more innovative. you see
