Their first attempt was in May of 1940 when the Nazi’s went to eliminate the Polish leadership and to eliminate the entire race. German police shot thousands of civilians and the male Poles were forced to do labor/work. And most all the Poles that the Nazi’s didn’t kill was mostly sent to concentration camps to do labor. The Poles set up a resistance in August of the year 1944 (“United States Holocaust Museum”). The Holocaust included many victims and another one of them was Blacks. After World War I, the Allies stripped Germany of its African colonies. Hitler told the people that the Jews were the ones who brought the blacks there. The French troops had some black soldiers and they used forces to stand for anti-black racism. Racist propaganda against black soldiers was then created and put up. The separation of whites and blacks was mandated by the German parliament. A law was created that said mixed races couldn’t marry in the African colonies. The children of black soldiers and German women were called “Rhineland Bastards”. The Nazi’s saw the kids as a threat to the purity of the Germanic race. African-German children were isolated socially and economically and were not allowed to attend any type of school. From 1933 to 1945, Blacks “treatment” ranged from isolation to persecution, sterilization, etc. There was no set program that was used to eliminate blacks like there was for the Jews and the other types (“United States Holocaust
