Hitlers Black Victims: The Historical
Experience of Afro-Germans,
European Blacks, Africans and
African Americans in the Nazi Era
(Cross Currents in African American
History) by Clarence Lusane
Hitler's Black Victims
The Nazi era in Germany and all of its accompanying atrocities is one of
the most documented periods in history. However, this documentation is
incomplete in one important area: the history and experiences of people of
African descent in Nazi Germany. Did Afro-Germans and other blacks
suffer under Nazism? The answer to this question, to the degree it has
been asked at all, remains vague even for those scholars and researchers
familiar with the Nazi era and the Holocaust in particular.

Drawing on interviews with the Black survivors of Nazi concentration
camps and archival research in North America, Europe, and Africa, this
book documents and analyzes the meaning of Nazisms racial policies
towards people of African descent, specifically those born in Germany,
France, England, the United States or Africa, and the impact of that legacy
on contemporary race relations in Germany, and more generally, in
Europe. The book also specifically addresses the concerns of those
surviving Afro-Germans who were victims of Nazism, but have not
generally been included in or benefited from the compensation agreements
that have been developed in recent years.
Personal Review: Hitlers Black Victims: The Historical
Experience of Afro-Germans, European Blacks, Africans and
African Americans in the Nazi Era (Cross Currents in African
American History) by Clarence Lusane
As there is a lack of information regarding blacks duing the Holocaust, this
book is a great resource. It is frustrating to find few eye-witness accounts,
but Lusane does provide names of those in camps from which one can
perform their own research. A must for anyone interested in finding out
about how Nazi Germany affected more than the Jewish population.
