A podcast interview (Cracks Podcast) in which the speaker recounts their grandparents' migration from Hamburg, Germany to Veracruz, Mexico in the early 1930s. The speaker explains that a Mexican consulate official and a social-security connection (the grandfather was a German social-security physician) prompted the move because Mexico was drafting its first social security law. The family arrived with the speaker's father (age 6) and aunt and faced cultural shock on arrival in Veracruz.
