From French Huguenots in the 17th century, Poles and Italians in the 19th, and the millions of immigrants from all over the world in the 20th century, Germany has a long history of immigration. Today, about 20 percent of the people living in Germany are either immigrants themselves or were born in Germany to a mother or father who immigrated there. As German society is becoming increasingly diverse, how does Germany value the cultural and economic contributions of immigrants? |
