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 Nazism's racial policies towards people of African descent, specifically those born in Germany, England, France, the United States, and 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.

Editorial Reviews
Review
Clarence Lusane is an excellent and prolific writer and a brilliant thinker. In Hitler's Black Victims, he turns his laser-like intelligence on yet another timely topic: the experience of the Black people in Nazi Germany. Neither Black history, nor European history, will be the same again.
–Gerald Horne, author of From the Barrel of a Gun
In its attention to almost the full span of the black history in Germany [Lusane's] book comprises the most inclusive study of the black experience to date, bringing together materials hitherto only available in far less accessible publications.

5.0 out of 5 stars
EXCELLENT RESOURCE,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Hitler's Black Victims: The Historical Experiences of European Blacks, Africans and African Americans During the Nazi Era (Crosscurrents in African American History) (Paperback)
This volume is an excellent resource, densely packed with well-documented data on a fascinating and neglected subject with which I have some familiarity. A few scholars have objected to some evidence (minor misspellings, etc.) that the author is not very familiar with the German tongue, but these criticisms are blown out of proportion and in no wise signal meaningful inaccuracies. I have seen the same general level of minor linguistic inaccuracies dealt with in a much more generous and respectful manner in other histories. It is possible that these criticisms have been leveled because of discomfort with the book's subject. In any event they are quite minor and unrelated to the factual content. Thus I have given the book 5 stars for the author's impressive accomplishments.

Hitler's Black Victims,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Hitler's Black Victims: The Historical Experiences of European Blacks, Africans and African Americans During the Nazi Era (Crosscurrents in African American History) (Paperback)
A deeper look into Hitler's atrocities. Never before had I heard anyone speak of the Black victims of the holocaust. This one should be required reading in schools.

Hitler's Black Victims,
By KeenMan (Lancaster, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hitler's Black Victims: The Historical Experiences of European Blacks, Africans and African Americans During the Nazi Era (Crosscurrents in African American History) (Paperback)
Excellant book. Most people don't know that there were blacks in the holocaust, this book tells a lot.
