SECTION 1
AFRO-GERMANS
DURING THE
HOLOCAUST
The Nazi German regime did not have an organized program to eliminate
African Germans. However, the regime discriminated against and persecuted
them. Some Black people in Germany and German-occupied territories were
isolated; an unknown number were sterilized, incarcerated, or murdered.
1. Nazi persecution of Afro-Germans occurred despite their relatively
small presence in Germany.
2. The Nazis forcibly sterilized a group of Afro-German children whom they
derogatorily called “the Rhineland Bastards.” Most of these children were
the progeny of French colonial troops from Africa that were stationed in
the Rhineland region after World War I.
3. Black people fought against Nazi Germany in World War II as members of
the Allied militaries. Some of them were held as prisoners of war.

SECTION 2
BLACK
PEOPLE
Many black people who lived in Germany under the Nazi regime were
persecuted, alienated and murdered during this period. The Nazis
viewed them as a threat to the purity of the Germanic race. Nazi
propaganda posters, showing friendship across racial groups,
referred to ‘a loss of racial pride.’
