A few years ago, a large stack of old letters was found in the secret compartment of a farmer's cupboard in the hallway of an Artland farm. Letters from people in our family who emigrated to America from this farm in the 19th century and who were hidden from the occupying forces after World War II.
Inspired by the accounts of these courageous people, who describe real life in the New World more impressively and authentically than all history books and Internet sources combined, Rebellius has written a complete program about emigrants that is more relevant today than it has been in 100 years. Back then, in the 19th century, more than seven million people emigrated to America. Today, more than 150,000 people are leaving Germany every year to seek a better life elsewhere.
