Take them to court.
My biological dad was born in Dresden but my mom left him when I was a kid but meine Oma came from Bavaria and I was her first grandchild and knew German and English before Kindergarten, so I argued them in their own tongue, which is the big hang-up in Germany is the language. I have to appeal for 10 years but they gave it to me.
I have close content with relatives there in Unterschleißheim and München, have documentation of abuse from the man my mom re-married that adopted me so I have no reason to want that last name and I am estranged from all of those people. I am gay and I had sent numerous police reports from people where I lived about being told to kill myself and being called a Nazi queer, and this happened daily.
Eventually, given the circumstances, I was granted an EU passport and need to at least have a bachelor's level education to move there to live, I would still have to naturalize but my pace may go faster and I may not have to wait so long because I was exposed to a Native until I was 15 or so daily and had no issues socializing while in Germany.
Apparently, if ones descendants went to the USA, in Germany, dual citizen or not, one must naturalize but I have an EU passport and really don't understand the point since I still have to go through processes to move there permanently. I don't need Visas however but I have to be 'cleared' to not be a dual citizen there anymore and get rid of the US one, or something. I am sure I will have it down pat after a year or two of living there.
My desire to leave is based on history, Columbus Day and Thanksgiving being holidays, I have profound guilt and sadness about the atrocities that occurred with the people in camps and I have the same sadness and shame that my family moved somewhere that history doesn't show to North Americans or Latinos what their ancestors did. I don't dislike the USA at all, and I love being American because I am an outspoken, free thinking and free speaking American and I show it when speaking English. I think our history has a lot of great people who did great things and that we have one of the more flexible freedoms in the world but I think North and South America owe a true memorial to the Natives that were almost extinct. Many white Americans I know have a Native grandparent and some look blue eyed and blonde, like most "Latinos" look like people from Southern Spain. I feel like it is unfair for me to stomp on their graves and think it is unfair to be gay bashed when in classes up to now, my senior year in college, addresses all of these different types of hatred and bias but ignore the Natives in any lesson and also made racism against Caucasians acceptable. My ancestors were rotten but so weren't almost everyone else's and the victims of my ancestors as well as neighboring Arab nations house the displaced people that lived there to unlivable camps.
Also, prior to 9/11 people were nicer, not so serious about everything, not so paranoid or hateful and after college I am probably going there. My relatives own a company and they need someone who can manage the English language crew they have with slang, idioms and explaining to them what something means and how to change their tone of voice to express things because Germans use grammar and their voice tone isn't so variable to get the same effect. I speak Spanish too and it is simple but it is very melodic and flamboyant and Farsi has a different tonal pattern but it requires that one listens to everything to know what is going on because verbs are all at the end and conjugated. All pretty in their own way and if you are multilingual and can see the differences in how one acts and feels in different language, the same things can make one melt. I like my American culture too, even when I am in public on the phone speaking German and some redneck screams, "GO BACK TO RUSSIA", there is something about this place that is filled with ironies to laugh at as there are things that are not so "free".
sorry for that superfluous nonsense but take it to court
