Unreported Nazi Racism Result Against Blacks

It has become a common theme to exclude the treatment of Blacks in the Nazi Concentration Camps when presented with the Jewish Holocaust. Prisoner of war, Hans Haber, reported that Blacks in the concentration camps were treated with extreme cruelty. “They were executed at random, denied water on long marches, and starved until they fell ill”.

Many of the France Africans were treated with extreme cruelty which included arbitrary murder. For example, on March 18, 1945, in Moosburg Germany, at Stalag VII-A, and SS guard executed a Black South African with the excuse that he was trying to escape.

The Black Nazi prisoners in the concentration camps received their once-a-day meal which consisted of “a small piece of vegetable, chopped in hot water, a little bit of potato, and some grass”.  The conditions were miserable to say the least. Few Blacks attempted to escape because their recapture would result in the death sentence, and it was impossible for Blacks to hide amongst the local population of whites.

These conditions replicate the experiences of the slave trade where culturally and socially Black people were forced to coexist with their oppressors. For Black captives, the horrors associated with the slave ship are consistent with the terrors that awaited them in the Nazi Concentration Camps.
