Answer 1

Though Hitler's racial policies toward Jews, Sinti, and Roma, have been well documented, researchers have given less attention to actions against Blacks. This racial minority, though not systematically eliminated like the other groups, faced persecution that ranged from isolation to murder.

This is the first paragraph of an article you are looking for.

The source is listed below. Remember Hitler was only interested in an Arian (white) race survivng.

Answer 2

The word holocaust is written in the bible. Just before it came into history , the western world was looking seriously at the principle of Eugenics. Many believed there were inferior humans on the planet that could be removed from life even white people. In 1939 the German government being corrupt but still democratic voted to use Eugenics to remove the mentally ill and the crippled babies from Germany. After a year of legal killing nearly 50,000 people the Germans started to cry out for a stop to the madness. Hitler bravely said that he would prevent more killings of these white hospitalized people. The blacks of course were not news headlines . The German voters were later directed to see the white Jewish race as political enemies. All along the blacks had been killed easily in the United States before and after the civil war over slavery. The news about black killings was still not front page news. After the Afro-Americans won gold medals in the Olympic track and field events in Germany challenging the super race theory the pressure was on for the world to wake up. It was also the shame the world felt from seeing the deaths of so many unarmed civilians in concentration camps that allowed a new view of the right to life for any human being to become publically accepted. We know the world leaders were mostly jewish thinkers. There was a fine line similarly crossed a few hundred years before this when the individual was accepted as worthy of the right to life over the rights of a king. It took the printing press and brand new religions that were printing the words in the bible about the individual and his God that alowed men to see the concept of the inalienable rights . Any of these key words will be useful in the search for links but ask yourself how could the western world ever get so degraded in intellectual thought for killing of humans. Where did the ideas come from . Rise and fall of the third Reich doesn't explain the psychic concepts of the western world at that time. Did the second World War remove those believers of the super race from the planet . The war-crime trials in Belgium after the war seemed to reflect a new attitude towards all life . Man and civilization is slowly advancing unnoticed almost so write a good paper . You will not be very poplular.

Answer 3

Hitler was behind the Holacaust and he beleived that anyone that was not pure white should perish. This is why alot of White Supremecy groups are called Neo-nazis. Hilter did have a "mixed" blood line as well, but he was in my opinion mentally ill. But he hated anyone that was not "pure". So Afro Germans were as much of an abomination to him as Jews.

Answer 4

Because so far as the Nazis were concerned to be German was to be White. The existence of Black or mixed race Germans was at best an embarrassment.

Answer 5

Hitler rated only the White Aryan race superior to be Germans.

Answer 6

"Afro-Germans (in German Afro-Deutsche) are defined as the Black African community and diaspora in Germany."

Hitler hated people of not just a different religion, but of a different skin color and ethnic backround.
