The Holocaust is Our History Too: The History of the Mixed Race Holocaust Victims
The Multiracial Activist
by Patrice Farmer
May/June 2004
6 million out of 11 million victims of the Holocaust were Jews. The remaining victims were people of various backgrounds, the disabled, Polish Christians and Catholics, Jehovah Witnesses, Rom Gypsies, Clergymen, Non-Nazi/non-conformist whites, Homosexuals, Interracial Couples and their Mixed Offspring1.
The Mixed Race children were the descendants of the African colonized soldiers of the French Army from World War I and German Women. These children were called “Rhineland Bastards” named after the land-(the Rhineland) on both sides of the Rhine River, a buffer zone between Germany, France, Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. These soldiers, declared Neger by the Germans were stationed in the Rhineland and intermarried with the German women which created the Mulatto children dubbed Rhineland Bastards or Rhineland Mischlingers (blood mixing with "alien races).”2 Many believed that these children were from forciable rape and could not have resulted from intermarriage. Hitler in his Mein Kempf wrote that the Afro-German children were an ‘insult to Germany’ and considered the German mothers to have been ‘prostitutes and whores’.
