Being black in Nazi Germany

[Kind of Blue]

5. My cousin, who is German-Nigerian, alerted me of a video

on Theodor Wonja Michael, mentioned in the article, when his book came out. I'm so glad he lived long enough to summon his wherewithal to tell of his experience.

This video expands more on Michael's life and is part of a series called
schwarzrotgold tv, Schwarz Rot Gold - Black German Narratives. “Schwarz Rot Gold” (translates to black, red, gold) travels through Germany to speak to successful Black Germans about the past, present and future of German identity and racism.

Growing up in Germany, Jermain Raffington yearned for idols that he could identify with. So Jermain and his wife Laurel decided to find these idols and initiated the project “Schwarz Rot Gold”. They want their own and other children to grow up in a tolerant Germany – in an environment that inspires them to pursue their goals. https://www.facebook.com/schwarzrotgold.tv/

Sadly to me though, I can't find the identity of the little girl in the photo that's been used a lot in articles to promote Where Hands Touch. She, as with many of our ancestors used in anti-black propaganda, are lost and so are their real stories.
