Question: Were Blacks or other non white people victims in the World War 2 Holocaust!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The fate of the black people from the years of Nazi rule starting in 1933 to 1945 in Nazi Germany, as well as the German-occupied territories, ranged from such incidents as being in isolation to persecution, there was sterilization, some were made to suffer medical experimentation, some were incarcerated, there was brutality, and some were murdered!. Generally speaking however, there was no type of systematic programs for their wholesale elimination of black people as there was for the Jewish population and other groups!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

During those years Hitler took people who were a drain to german society"those that basically didn't work"!. He saw little use for professors or politicians too!."the elitists who were too good to get their hands dirty"!. They got mixed in that jumble of people too!. So did the decrepid, diseased, crippled, money handlers, accountants!. He did not like the Jews for they controlled the money and they did little work"being bosses" over German citizens!. If you were not a working average joe(as Germany economy was industrial ) you stood a good chance to go to "day camp"
Read the books, not just one by one author, starting at the first world war so you understand the dynamics and mindset and politics of the time of all the countries!.
I, cannot recall reading about African blacks in Germany specifically during those times, although the Jewish people are not fair skinned!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

There were virtually no blacks in Germany nor in other conquered areas!. The only significant population of blacks in Western Europe was in the South of France and in Paris!. They were sneered at by the Nazis, but they didn't get included, generally, among those that ended up in the death caps!. Gypsies might be considered non-white, as might (possibly) semetic Jews!. Both of those groups (along with non-semetic Jews) were most certainly sent to the death camps!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Black people were persecuted, and many were forcibly sterilised!. However, there was not an organised programme for their extermination, as there was for Jews!. Perhaps there would have been as time went on, though it is difficult to see how they could have exterminated all the black people in, say, the German colonies in Africa!.

The people who have said that there were 'virtually no blacks' in occupied Europe are incorrect!. There were black people in Germany, and there were black people in other European countries too!. and they were persecuted, and some of them did end up in concetration camps!.

Josephine Baker, the black singer, was a heroine of the French Resistance!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
