He was just one of hundreds like tramps living a precarious existence seeking to survive in Nazi Germany. And the end. Where. The end. January 30th 1933 Adolf Hitler makes his first speech as the newly elected chancellor of Germany. At last the furor concerns. The creation of a racially purified German father. I urge the central focus of Hitler's racial obsessions with the gypsies and the Jews. But another ethnic group was also in his sights.
German is 20000 strong community of black people and members of this community were amongst Hitler's first victims. Soon after coming to power the Nazis ordered medical teams to develop a sterilization program designed to eliminate future generations of those considered unfit to reproduce. Most of the victims were those with mental or physical infirmities but also targeted 100s of mixed race children who were growing up in Gemma's Rhineland area. I am. One of those children was a 17 year old apprentice railway worker from the South German town of Sabratha. That's how to write here we go bar hopping that's right Todd. I think your bar Bushehr won't listen to it crank up the leash.

Very nice to have you leave me talking I want to ask you should we defeat the big. Uns home was one of at least 400 runnin children who were sterilized simply for having a partial African ancestry.
After his operation he was taken to the local Gestapo headquarters. Today the building is aubergines Historical Museum. Yeah I want to go nominate you each get a flood lucky we get what God has each. Man to be shiny it will. Be that he felt that to me We are live with the tribe. Thus we are higher up the door for we're not going east. I had often mentioned it to Dr. Dodd for bad blood. That's your kind of Islay station but she ordered. Them to have to admit it you're mentioning. Right here comes on you don't want to try to get it that you're trying to get it for God looked at me directly to the obit. Good good. When I first got that high that meant like most of the mixed race Rylan children household was a product of the relationships that developed between German women and African soldiers from the French colonial army.
Africans had been stationed in the Rhineland after 1918 following Germany's defeat in the first world war. Under the terms of the peace treaty signed at Brossard. Germany was stripped of its colonies and was forced to submit to the occupation of a strategically important Rylan area. Controversially France was allowed to deploy troops from its African armies to police the territory which formed much of the border with Germany. For many Germans this was the final humiliation. German nationalists led the opposition to the treaty. They complained that their country had been robbed of his possessions in Africa. The country's newly emerging Nazi party produced silent propaganda films attacking the agreement that had led to what they call. The black disgrace on the right. The other thing is the queues the Africans the police local German men and even raping
German women. The allegations were published in newspapers across Europe. But French inquiries found that in reality it was the German women who were initiating liaisons with a relatively well paid and exotic men of the French colonial army. The fruit of these relationships was more than 800 mixed race children. Their arrival scandalized the German public opinion. It was a controversy that influenced the thinking of many Germans especially Adolf Hitler. In his book Mind come Hitler wrote it was and it is the Jews who bring the negroes into the Rhineland always with the same secret thoughts and clear aim of ruining the hated white race by the necessarily resulting
bastardization. The Nazi plan to sterilize the Reiland children was for them a great success. By the end of 1937 almost half of all the mixed race children had been treated by the Nazi doctors. A further 200 of them disappeared probably into Hitler's concentration camps. Thomas holds holism was sterilized in a hospital in Dom's Stott near Frankfurt. A few days devoiced death in 1996. He spoke to an amateur cameraman about his ordeal. Oh oh oh.
Oh oh. Just 13 0 0. 0. But I did my thing. Oh you might. Be the rule rather than making your own baby. With. The sterilization program had been directed by the leading Nazi geneticist Dr. Eugene Fisher fishy was working against the biological clock by the mid-1930s. The children were entering puberty and had to be sterilized before they became sexually active. Fisher had developed his racial theories in German South-West Africa but is now
maybe a year before the First World War. The country had been Germany surprised commonly in the south of the continent. It was here that Fischer discovered what he claimed was fatal genetic dangers arising from race mixing between German colonists and African women. The racial theories of the Nazis were not an invention of the Nazis. They date back to the colonial administration mixed marriage machining race disgrace. All these terms were already discussed and in use during the colonial time and there was also a law already made in the colonies where people being mixed marriages. German colonial policy was very harsh especially with respect to the colony of South West Africa which was planned to be a settlement colony and the idea was to have white settlers there.
Apart from an apartheid system from the black population and the uprise of the black population there which was caused by the total its creation their growth and their living space ended with a genocide a first genocide. There were 80 percent of the population were killed. They had also controlled Russian camps in use and they also used the inmates of the concentration camps already for medical experiments. Here in the 1930s Germany cinema romanticized colonial adventures in Africa. Yet in reality Germany had quelled the resistance in its own condos with brutal programs a slaughter and genocide by islands in the colonies
was just a foretaste of what the Nazis would do to blacks closer to home. In the 1920s at the height of the jazz age a census revealed the
24000 of black people living in Germany. Some were musicians working as part of Berlin's famous cabaret scene was celebrated performers such as Josephine thank you through German audiences. In an atmosphere of rising racial hostility to the entertainment industry was one of the few areas where black Germans going to find gainful employment. Many of the German blacks were the descendants of troops recruited from his colonies in Africa. Fifteen thousand Africans had fought and died for the Kaiser with an if as Will war following the carve up of Africa by the European powers in the Berlin Conference in 1884 Germany colonized Germany East Africa and what is today Tanzania Togo and Cameroon in West Africa. And German South-West Africa in modern day Namibia.
By the 1930s the children of the immigrants from these countries formed the majority of Germany's new black community the Fatherland was now also a mother country to several thousand people of African descent. One of them was the black activist and dancer Larry guilders. He founded the Northwest run an organization of entertainers that for the Nazis in his hometown. In the early 30s he helped make Dusseldorf the center under Nazi resistance. The Nazis for the desert of the VME cleated top a north western movies and.

The continuing presence of many black Germans know to the SS But as long as they served no useful purpose they could escape persecution. Truly at the tipping I was born in Vienna in one thousand 05 the daughter of an Austrian mother and a Liberian father. She married Adolf Hitler of course a white circus impresario.

And faulty that I do use it after Kushal to the left and a few other follow you. Throughout the 1930s the hillock us Africa show was a significant employer of black breadwinners but in 1040 the show was taken over by the SS who considered it racially unacceptable. From then on the shows became vehicles of political propaganda used by the Nazis to confirm their own race's assumptions and to present Africa as culturally primitive. For the US. No no. No no.

Like run a theatre Mikael survive the Nazi period by working in the film industry. The youngest of four children he was separated from his brother and sisters by the start of the war and had to survive alone in Nazi Germany during the Nazi era. Theodore appeared in dozens of German feature films. It was to be the beginning of the career of one of Germany's most distinguished character actors I think and one of the oldest and

Which has happened in my name. In the face of Nazi bloodshed and terror. Many blacks fled the country. At the age of 16 due to a Mikhail's elder sister Giuliana escaped
from Germany and sought refuge in a circus troupe in France. Captain duck if you're on the mind of the mannish dressed as filthy fish.

In fear for his money without his people. James took one of the few routes National could enjoy the French Foreign Legion. But as Legionnaires. James found himself locked in combat against his fellow German Rommel's North Africa campaign in 1941. This was a fried fish. Then the hue and story Chase had this battle in mulatto childhood you know plantation I mean he kept at it. Lash him at nets Indonesia. Albert that's regime not your this is not your lists was conditioned for Guffman. As a veteran of the French Foreign Legion. James now receives a modest pension from the French government. Yet ironically he's denied benefits by his own homeland Germany the country that forced him to flee in the first place.
Such treatment is not unusual. Few black Germans have received proper redress for the prosecution they endured during the Nazi era. Even those who were imprisoned and slaves in the Nazis notorious concentration camps. A
Thanks. Between 1939 and 1945. An estimated 200000 black troops recruited from France's African colonies was serving in the European theater. Governments were especially loved by the SS because of the history of the Ryman occupation. And many camps the Nazis segregated the black inmates from the rest of the population. Often in what was a breach of their rights under the Geneva Convention black
prisoners were denied food. And given dangerous jobs. And misfit never seen before. Black soldiers and civilians scavenging for scraps of food. At the end of your WQ you do what in North West Germany. The regime in him was not especially severe. Prisoners were allowed to entertain yourself. Those known that black civilians in Germany's concentration camps received much harsher punishment. At the hands of the SS guys. No one knows how many black soldiers and civilians perished in the camps but some survivors do recall the impact made by some black inmates such as the Belgian resistance fighter Johnny Ball State. In Maine one
thousand forty two Boston was arrested for committing acts of sabotage in the lane near Antwerp. He was deported to Dakar. When I was in that go by boat from all the villages there were dead that Charlie for state was there too. We were treated. Like animals and like beasts. By the SS. One day journey and the possibility to organize a big box full of a Viking means instead to keep them for themselves. He started. To give in the way to all his friends and that is something I was sure the virus. Did today never get there we say so only say I don't like it and that moment because.

Did you say you know you can have. Yeah in my life. I will fight for you. And he was half right. His courage was a necessary though not always sufficient quality for those blacks who hope to survive the terror of the concentration camps. For the black men and women implicated in acts of defiance was have attached the penalties exacted by the Nazis were especially severe. Born of the Ivory Coast to an African mother and a white French father. Johnny Williams had arrived in France as an eight year old in 1930.
After the German invasion of France William was put to work in an armaments factory producing defense equipment for the German army. In 1040.

Argue relatively little is known of the experience of black civilians held in Germany's concentration and internment camps. But some evidence does survive on the canvases of a black American painter Joseph nasi. Nasi was working as a sound engineer in Brussels until he was arrested as a suspected enemy alien by the Gestapo. He was detained at three transit camps in Belgium and Germany where foreign prisoners were held pending deportation. He was fortunate that the camp commandants were art lovers and each allowed him to paint.

Many of his works currently on show at the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington D.C. express the oppressive and claustrophobic atmosphere and dominated the characters. The regime in the German transit camps was not usually as harsh as that found in the concentration camps. Many of the detainees featured in Nazis paintings were used as hostages. And where then should be traded for German prisoners of war.
During his internment Nazi completed more than 200 works of art. He died from cancer in 1976. Did you ever get the money that the lady said I love you.

In. My. Year. But. Even in today's ethnically diverse job a few are aware of the experiences of the Black Pioneers who witnessed at first hand Germany's descent into barbarism. Understandably many Black Survivors take pride in their unique place in modern German history. Most are still settled in Germany and don't feel bitterness towards their white compatriots. Yet there's a continuing anger at the attitude of the present German government
the official refusal to recognize the suffering of black Germans angers those who feel they deserve some compensation. For their treatment under the Nazis. Such battles for justice and recognition of America right across the black diaspora. But in Germany racial insensitivity will perhaps. Always hold a special pardons of. Those who survived.
