Igreja Mennonita de Neuland
Italy
Neuland Colony is a Mennonite settlement in Paraguay. After thousands of Plautdietsch-speaking Russian Mennonites fled the Soviet Union during the Great Trek of World War II, many were left displaced by the war. In response to this need, land in the Boquerón Department was purchased by the Mennonite
Central Committee in 1947 and settled by these same Mennonite refugees from Europe. As of 2008, the colony had about 3,400 residents.
