Hitler, the Nazi leader and German chancellor, removed black people, gay people, gypsies and most commonly Jews from their household. Over eleven million people were murdered during the Holocaust, six million of which were Jews. The Nazis would relocate prisoners to concentration camps, most commonly known as death camps. At these camps, prisoners were put to work, doing manual labor. Not only were they starved but the captives were beaten, and tortured. If the prisoners didn’t die from starvation or disease, they were executed. The Great Depression began after WWI ended. Everyone blamed Germany for what happened so they had to repay everyone’s war debts.

Though use of the term itself dates only to the 1870s, there is evidence of hostility toward Jews long before the Holocaust--even as far back as the ancient world, when Roman authorities destroyed the Jewish temple in Jerusalem and forced Jews to leave Palestine.

After finding limited articles pertaining to the events of Kristallnacht, I was curious to see if more coverage would be dedicated to the events that came after. I specifically wanted to look into African American newspapers of the day in order to see how the African American community reacted to the atrocities.

Research indicates that â€Å"the â€Å"competition† between African-American and Jews has served to trivialize the malevolence which both has suffered† (Newton, 1999). According to L.
