The film searches for traces and comes to sobering conclusions: Never in the history of the world has total unity led to peace, but to the violent oppression of minorities. The ongoing effort to dissolve all borders contradicts the Bible and indicates that humanity is drifting into a final, violent conflict.
I'm a descendant and I've always wondered why I've been an avid advocate for decentralized government😂
Many thanks
As a Biblical Christian it is good to know our history. Thank you.
What a treasure documentary! Thank you so much! I'm a proud descendant of the Huguenots who fled to South Africa in the late 1600s and 1700s. On my mother's side Du Plessis. My children are descendants of Louis Fourie (orig. sp. Fleurie).
South African Huegonot descendant here as well. Theron and Malan surnames
Also Hugenot desent, I now understand why they fled to South Africa. Their character seems to be still part of my family. My father is from an Calvinist family. I honour them now even more.
They also fled to England as I’m a descendant our ancestors arrived in London and were weavers :)
Any relation to Dricus Du Plessis?
I'm a direct descendant of HUGUENOTS...HERE TO LEARN MORE
Thank you from a proud Huguenot in South Africa
Proud huguenot from england
The town I live in was settled by a few Huguenot families. They were hard working farmers and righteous Christian people. They were people of perseverance. We of today should take a few pages from their book and apply it to our lives. I look up and study my local history and I am intrigued by the early settlers. I think of them often and I respect them.
"I think of them often . . . " I applaud your words. I wish this comment had existed decades ago when I was an undergrad history major---and I was considered contrary in my department because I thought that was a spiritual and emotional impact to knowledge of the past which was more important than the merely scholar apparatus of footnotes, bibliographies, and the correct dating of primary documents. I studied with scholars who possessed doctorates (and loved to remind us that they did) but who had not sense of the reality of the past, the respect---which you have described---that thinks of the past often. You have written a brilliant comment that is worth a hundred PhD disserations.
Excellent video tying in history with where we are today in the globalisation process. I hope there will be more to come. The Huguenots paid a price. So will the true church of today for the purity of truth and those with a living faith.
My Huguenot ancestors fled after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes to London, England, then on the Kent County Delaware in America and settled across the Delaware River in New Jersey, where I'm from. I'm so fascinated by what I'm finding out about them in my research and my own connection to this courageous, gospel, freedom, liberty and Jesus loving group of people. Proud to be descendants of them and pray I can also carry the torch of our beliefs for my lifetime, spreading the word of the gospel and standing firm in my faith!❤✝️🙏. Just found this on CZcams. Looking forward to this video! Thanks for posting it, in advance!
My grandmother was a Huguenot. Thanks for this.
My family were French Huguenots that eventually fled to the USA then migrated to Australia during the gold rush.. seems fighting for truth is in my DNA..
Me too cousin
Get ready~ Thank you for bringing to us their story and so well done.
This has just blown my mind. I've traced my Huguenot line to the 17th century. It's made sense of so much, and how I view the world
Excellent, thank you for making this! God bless those that went before us ❤
Great documentary. We take so much for granted our religious freedom today.
I am a Huguenot, my son is the last male of my branch of the bloodline to carry on our heritage.
Simply amazing thank you for this documentary.
Why left out that Huguenots also fled to Canada and USA.
Thank you very much for making this documentary. May God strengthen all of us as we await Him.
More and more evidence is being uncovered to suggest the Huguenots were of Jewish Shapardic ancestory. This explains, what has never been explained about how the Huguenots "suddenly" appeared in great numbers after the expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492 - many who went to Southern France. It offers an explanation of the character and origins of the Hugenots, their skills and achievements and their closeness to Jewish communities especially in England.
A few months late, but any good sources? I'm about to start researching that now, that sounds really interesting.

I learned around the 70s that our family were descendants of the French Huguenots. I don't know from who but it was on my paternal side. The surname of my grandmother of Petrou who was full French. I also don't know where we originally fled to but I was born in Northern California in '62.
This is interesting and makes sense seeing that I never could accept Catholicism or their beliefs.
LeMaster came from Lemaistre. To me it is amazing that the many ideas of the Huguenots were passed down as part of the family. How in America my family did not identify with the reformation but the Restoration movement. In America we weren't reforming just restoring.
Who else came here for genealogy research!
I am. Of the French last name Trego. Migrated to America mid 1600s
@@allenbuck5589 I am DuMoulin, we came to America in 1700, I found my family on a refugee name boarding list Hugenot Ship called "Mary & Ann"
I thought you would focus on the Hugenots and the atrocities committed by the Catholic Church. I was wrong.
I expected more as well.
Indeed.... this was something else completely... rather propaganda
Björn O as some one of Huguenot descent; I find it well done. My ancestor’s parents were executed. The mother was 8 months pregnant. My ancestor a 14 year old boy ran for his life, with his two younger brothers. History repeats.
@@bjorno7573 as usual!
So informative. Four hundred years later and that is still how we conduct holy communion in the Reformed church in South Africa. Similarly are the traditions in all other fields. Gross human rights violations though, committed by the Catholic Church. How are they any better than Hitler? They should be held accountable. I am a proud descendant of French Huguenots my ancestors surnames were Du Preez an Naudè. Don’t know if Naudè was a Huguenot though.
Well Done!!
"The Huguenot Society of the Founders of Manakin in the Colony of Virginia is a society dedicated to preserving the history and genealogy of all French Protestant Huguenots who came to Virginia prior to 1786. They were granted lands in the New World where they had the freedom to worship as they pleased."

Thank you for this information and link. I have several Virginian Hugueot's spread out through my family tree and have wanted to do further research. This appeasr to be a good start.
My ancestors are from manakin town and Goochland Virginia
@@bgoss81mine as well.... Bartholomew Dupuy is my ancestor
@@bgoss81So did Johnny Depp's
Interesting date of this Video. A few days before the current crisis
Fascinated by the history of Huguenots having discovered the origins of our family name.
Interesting, that is exactly why I'm here. Doing my family tree has revealed a lot.
I didn't know what a Huguenot was, I might have heard the term in passing, but it came as a shock when we discovered the history behind our family name and the Huguenots. We later managed to trace the family line to Angers in France and then further back to areas of south west France. Its really worth looking into, if you have the time. :)
I’m a Huguenot decent. Mid 1600s Trego
Wow, and this film only has a little over 1k views?
Algorithms... Keyword is 'Huguenots'. If kids never heard about 'Huguenots', how could they type it in? This honestly the first time I come across this info after doing a bit of searching. History is deluded, repeated and etc... give it time
Who is this guy?
I believe I am descended from the ‘Deserts’ (not sure how to pronounce it) who moved to London around 1700.
I'm one. I know a bit about our early history if you are interested. Désert...pronounceded DE SER
Where can I buy a copy of this DVD?
I am very interested in the painting at the 22:00 mark. Does anyone know the name or artist of this work?
Wird es die Reportage mit deutscher Übersetzung geben? Wäre toll!;)
Hallo Olga, den Film gibt es bereits auf deutsch. Er heißt "Im Schatten der Einheit". Du kannst ihn hier ansehen: czcams.com/video/qlRoFFuBjJI/video.html
amazing discoveries vielen Dank 👍
I guess I am related to them?
