Hans Massaquoi's memoir traces an extraordinary childhood spent as one of few Black children in Nazi Germany. Raised by his German mother after his father returned to Liberia, he navigates schooling, social exclusion, and the constant fear of state persecution while ordinary life around him grows increasingly controlled.

Rather than broad historical analysis, the book offers a close, personal view of identity and survival: how a young boy experienced propaganda, was denied civic rites like youth organizations, and sought an education and livelihood under growing restrictions.

Highlights

  • Firsthand memoir of race and daily life in wartime Germany
  • Explores identity, exclusion, and resilience
  • Paperback, 480 pages; published 1999; ISBN 9780060959616

This seller was incredible. I purchased an inexpensive (used) book and was almost immediately notified that it shipped on the same day I ordered it. I received it within 2 days. It was exactly as described - it looked like it had never even been read! Great service & a great product. Thanks!
