About the People:

During World War I, when his aristocratic family lost their property, Johann Bernstorff set sail from Germany, arriving in Mexico in the midst of the country's revolution. With no knowledge of Spanish and very little money, he sought work as a field hand on a coffee farm. While it didn't take long before he had saved enough to move on, his love for a local woman named Carmen Pérez kept him in Chiapas. The two soon married, and he continued to work diligently for local coffee farms, until in 1941, he became the owner of 3,800-hectare (9386-acre) estate where he produced coffee, African palm, cacao and timber.
