How many black German Jews were a part of the Holocaust of World War II?

Question

I understand that there were thousands of Black Germans (people of African and Native German decent) who had to escape the horrors of the Nacies. I would like to know if there is anyone who know the exact number of these people who lived in Germany and were influenced by these events.

Answer 1

your question is worded wrong but I get what you're saying. You also have to remember that in 1930's and 1940's Germany, there were only a handful of non-whites living there so the numbers are relatively small compared to the number of jewish lives lost. i agree with you that they ALL need to be acknowledged.

go to this link to read about all of the victims of the Holocaust (jewish and non-jewish)

Answer 2

Unlike the Jews and Romanies (Gypsies), blacks were not systematically killed in Nazi Germany. There is one who wrote a book after the war (Hans-Jürgen Massaquoi) and I've read this book. He describes many discriminations but they didn't try to kill him. I give you a link to a Wikipedia article about him and to two other articles about blacks in Nazi Germany.

They weren't Jewish by the way. I haven't heard of any black Jews in Germany at the Nazi time.

Answer 3

Sorry, I never heard of coloured german jews before 1945.Could you name your source of this information?

There were very few non-whites in germany before the end of the war (very, very, very few) and most of them were Askari
(africans recruited as soldiers for the german african army in WWI).Most Askari came from Sudan, that region is not jewish.
