Description & Show Notes
In Peru, we encounter a German-speaking village: Pozuzo, founded by German and Austrian settlers. This episode traces an unusual history of migration — of German emigrants in South America and Austrian settlers in Peru, whose presence is still visible today. A journey to Pozuzo becomes a journey into Peru beyond the well-trodden tourist routes. An example of how continents are connected through migration and how distant histories continue to shape local realities.
