A few years ago, a large stack of old letters was discovered in the secret compartment of a farmer's cupboard in the hallway of an Artland farm. These were letters from members of our family who had emigrated to America from this farm in the 19th century and had been hidden from the occupying forces after World War II. Inspired by the accounts of these courageous individuals, 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 has gained more relevance today than it has in 100 years. Back then, in the 19th century, more than seven million people emigrated to America; today, more than 150.000 people leave Germany every year to seek a better life elsewhere.
