RTL Lëtzebuerg has published an article announcing a new documentary by Daniel Atz, focused on the little-known Luxembourgish diaspora in Argentina.

The article explains that while Luxembourgish emigration to Brazil is well known, there were also significant migration waves to Argentina as early as the 19th century, which remain largely overlooked.

The documentary stems from Daniel Atz’s discovery of this community during a 2022 gathering of South American families of Luxembourgish descent, leading him to investigate and document descendants still living in Argentina today.

It also notes his parallel work assisting descendants of Luxembourg emigrants in reclaiming Luxembourgish nationality.

The documentary will air Sunday at 20:00 on television and will be available afterward on RTL Play, with Daniel Atz also appearing in RTL’s Sunday interview segment.
