There was a lot of people that had chosen to cross the ocean and emigrate from the the middle- and eastern european countries, where the rapid and sometimes violent changes took place. The case studies of three czech families (Platovský, Sklenář and Reichmann) which came from different social, economic and religious background, prove that whatever the "origin" was, the czech families did not get lost in their new countries (in this case in Chile) thanks to their diligence and skills, and they...
