BLACK SOCIAL HISTORY : BLACK PEOPLE IN NAZI GERMANY :

The treatment of Black People in Nazi Germany was generally indifferent. The main reason for this was the fluid non-straight forward racial policies of the Nazis, which were influenced by daily politics. The results of each individual policy was very complex and some times lead to contradictions. The Nazi racial agenda considered Blacks Inferior to the Aryan race, but in reality they were often overlooked due to their low numbers when it come to actual implementations of government action and policies towards them. As a results blacks were generally far better than Jews or Gypsies and could live mostly normal lives including attending school and working.

On the other hand  despite the absence of an official systematic government stance there were numerous instances of discrimination, crimes and murder against black people on a local level, influenced by the racial perception of the Nazis which were spread among the people and the general disregard of blacks over the whole western world. While black people in Nazi Germany and German-occupied territories were not subjected to systematic elimination they were victimized in diverse ways. Anti Black racism existed in Germany prior to the rise of the Nazi Government, with mixed-race children facing social and economic discrimination and blacks became a target of Nazi eugenics by 1937 with many facing compulsory sterilization other became victims of Human Experimentation's assassination, false imprisonment, some simply vanished, Black Prisoners of war were some times killed out right or through the poor treatment they received in Nazi concentration camps or prisoner of war, while others were worked to death.
