Interesting article.  Another interesting article found in the "comments" section.  The editor of the well-known magazine Ebony is the little boy in the photo with the swastika on his sweater.

I am somewhat ashamed to say that I never considered the fact that there must have been blacks in Germany during the Nazi era, though in fact someone - on tis forum I believe - posted a picture of a black in the Kaiser's army.  No stranger, I suppose, than the story of Harry O'Hara [or Ahira], though with far worse outcomes in most cases.  certainly the WWI posters featuring black French troops made it pretty clear that they were sub-human even then and their children must have lived pretty grim lives in some cases even before the Nazis came into power.  How we do manage to hate each other and for such silly reasons in most cases!
