2.  Topic or event to be studied

Why people from Andalucía emigrated to Germany during the 1970/1980.
It is an interesting topic because it had consequences for Spain and also for the families who lived in this country and those who had gone outside.

Most of the people, who had to emigrate because of the crisis of our country, did it because it was the only way they could earn some money and help their families. Spain was in a completely decay while other countries demanded people and work for their factories and so on.

3. Interviewee, including rationale for choosing him/her

Grand parents that gone because they couldn´t stay in Spain, they had to support their famlilies as a consequences of the crisis.

Our narrator is not a really close relative, but it is enough for getting the information we want. It is Helena´s boyfriend grandfather (Helena is a member of our group). His name is Antonio Roldán Bazán, we have chosen him because he was one of the plenty of people who leaved Andalucía (Spain) and emigrated to countries like Germany, in his case, specifically to Frankfurt as a result of the crisis that Spain was suffering in those years (70-80s) in all the country, but more deeply in the less developed areas such as Andalucía.
