Afro-Descendants in Nazi Germany

Join Professor Natalye Pass Harpin of Grossmont College for an enlightening discussion exploring the reality of Nazism's racial policies towards people of African descent during the Nazi era, and the impact of that legacy on contemporary race relations in Germany and in Europe. Nazi racial policies against people of Afro-descendants are not as well documented as those against Jews and the Roma people. Though not systematically eliminated like other groups, Black people faced persecution that ranged from isolation to outright murder.
