My grandmother was half German and half black French too. She was a teen too during the middle of second world war so this is just like watching her life story because she went through a similar life. In my grandma's case she spent most of it hiding in bunkers. She escaped to France by disguising herself as a bag of potatoes. This just brings me to tears watching this and remembering her narrating her life to us. She died in 2004. She was 88.
oh my goodness what a gem of a grandmother u had, i’d love to hear more i LOVE THIS era because it was my beloved grandmothers era (born in 1925), my gma was my everything. she’s everything a woman wife friend mother gma etc should ever aspire to be like. i’ve never met anyone else like that woman….many people don’t know how discriminated italian/sicilians we’re back in the 1920ies/30ies my grandparents from sicily that came here as kids had experiences with none of the other nationality kids (as italians were looked at as dangerous dirty thugs because of the mafia even tho they weren’t mafia related and hated the mafia themselves) i have no idea why i didn’t ask what about the spanish and black kids but if i remember correctly there just wasn’t any where they grew up in NY but i wish i thought to ask more before i lost my grandparents especially my grandma i was closest with who told me all these stories in the most depth. God bless you and your family 💜
It's pretty interesting how she ended up repeating her mother's footsteps. Fell in love and had a baby at a fairly young age, and her lover was ripped away from her, just as her father was from her mother
The rescue by the black soldier warmed my heart. She was finally seen and accepted by someone. And probably would have never known it would come from someone who was like her and had both strength and compassion, because she had never seen someone who looked like her in a position of power.
Yh. I found that was a powerful turning point …that after all that struggle she saw strength and power ie the capability to save herself in her own reflection. She needed that as I am sure she reflected that if she had left with lutz when he was begging her to, he naught have not been killed like that. She refused bc for her she is German.
Back than it was harsh living as a black person or as a bi racial in Europe. they faced lots of racism and discrimination. but it was the same situation for black people living in the U.S as well. the past was hard for black people everywhere.
In the film her mom is German, so she believes she is the same as her mom although people’s treatment towards her showed her that was not true. She was her mother’s daughter so she has German DNA, but she didn’t “look” German. I wouldn’t say she was proud per se, but she was just trying to fit in and live despite her being unaware of how deeply people felt about her “tinted” skin.
I kind of like that they kept her anti-Semitic even though her mom wasn't or her dad it really shows how youth culture gets indoctrinated by other things around them even more than what's in their house
The father cared more about his reputation than his son's happiness. How could you kill your own son? Edit: Thanks for all the likes, also stop calling me a "spoiler" and insulting me in the comments because you knew exactly what you were getting into when you decided to scroll through the comments and not watch the video, should have paid attention and also I don't care. Secondly the purpose of the channel is to "spoil" movies so if you don't want "spoilers" you're on the wrong channel.
Sadly I feel that generally people are self-preserving even when it comes down to their children after their kids are adults they're just people that just had kids
can't dare to watch the whole movie knowing that Lutz was killed by his father in front of the loving eyes of Leina to Lutz. My tears are shallow, it hurts to know that a man of your life dies in front of you. I can't bear that emotion. I'm crying. (omgeee thanks for the likes , hope I can get a "subscribe" 🙈♥️♥️♥️)
they way he looks at her and acts around her is so beautiful. They made this movie so beautifully well and I can’t get enough of it. Sadly that he was killed off by his father but really were talking about Germany nazi’s now lol. They don’t care who they kill .’
Why are they promoting these two young kids or teenagers having sex. With all the tension going on she had time to sneak to his house and “make love” and end up pregnant when her very own existence was already in danger due to the color of her skin. Movies like this annoy me lol.
The father got me until the last moment 🥲he acted to care for his son and not letting him go to the war to protect him but kills him without hesitation for his pride 😭
I was taken by surprised when the dad killed his own son just because he was in love, that's crazy and it shouldn't ever matter if a person is Black, White, Muslim, Jewish, rich or poor, love knows no limits nor boundaries
The message is really nice but Muslim isn't an ethnicity. I see a lot of people mixing the two together. Every race can be Muslim, the largest population of Muslim is not Arabs as people might think, the largest population of Muslim in the world is Asian! Islam does not have any race.
@@sivanrottelman7224 Incorrect, Islam and Judaism are religions. Arabs practice Islam aka Muslims. Jews are the group of people who practice Judaism, also referred to as Jewish. Hebrews are the true ethnicity of the tribe of Judah, were darker in skin color and with coarse hair. These people are the real Jews (Judahs). Semantics has confused the truth of history.
@@aaronbatiste5385 what are you saying without knowing. I'm Muslim myself and I know my own religion pretty well. Arabs does not equal Muslim at all. Most Muslims are Asian like I said (the biggest Muslim country being Indonesia) Islam is not an ethno centric religion unlike Judaism so being Muslim doesn't have anything to do with being part of a certain race. It's just the Quran that is written in Arabic and the prayers are pronounced in Arabic. That's why a lot of people from different races and countries convert to Islam. Absolutely everyone can be a Muslim. This is common knowledge. Please go instruct yourself on those topic before saying false things because we are exhausted with this idea of Arab=Muslim.
The Nazis did not really care about black people in Germany. But she is the child of a French colonial soldier and a German mother. Children fathered by foreign invaders are always seen as an insult and shame, the circumstances how the woman got pregnant ,are secondary. The French and Germans had been enemies for decades. Being half-black and of her age, the possibilty of her father being a foreign invader was high. But they were not targeted for extermination. The worst what would happen was sterilisation. Still bad, but better than what was in stock for the majority of Slavs or Jews.
There wasn't really a lot of black people in Germany at that time. So they weren't seen as a parasite leaching of German people, like they saw Jewish and Slavic people. But what are you basing your statement on? A movie? Nazis saw everyone who didn't work for them as inferior and literally based their country on race supremacy theory, so yeah they didn't care about black people because there was no black people in Germany at that time not because they thought they were cool.
@@majormononoke8958 What the hell? You can in all seriousness say that, even given the entire context of this exact film, with World War 2, concentration camps, genocide, etc? I am alarmed that I share 'reality' with you...
The half-Black children in Nazi Germany definitely existed, but documentation is scarce. I know of a few famous cases, like Hans Massaquoi, Kurt Schram, and Johnny Voste, but whenever I try to research it I end up hitting a wall.
They were very common throughout the Rhineland as it was occupied by the French between 1918 and 1930. Many French Senegalese Tirailleur troops got into relationships with German women during the occupation. There's loads of documentation and information out there of those children and how they were discriminated against.
I actually really loved this movie for a specific reason. Rarely we're shown any nazis as good people in historic movies. What most people miss is that literally everyone in Germany, had to join the Nazis. For example, they first started out having awesome summer camps, to make the kids want to go there, and the leaders would sneak in some propaganda between the fun. Then, they'd make all other summer camps shut down, so basically if you wanted to go to a summer camp, nazi camp was the only one avaliable. Later they made being part of the nazi youth obligatory. And as an adult, imagine a life where most people in charge are nazis, and if you don't do what they say they will kill you. As a girl, you'd probably be married off to some nazi officer, and as a boy you'd be a soldier. It was not a choice. And for many the things they were forced to do by their superiors, they would have refused if they could. I also imagine this was a time of thriving for sociopaths and psychopaths, like imagine being allowed, no actually encouraged to use violence, to murder, to torture, to rap.e. I brought out the worst in some people for sure, all wars do, but I'm still left thinking about the horrible actions people were forced to commit. I have a few other movie examples of this, the nazi in "the pianist" he didn't see to actually hate jews, he felt sorry for them and excused their actions, while helping a jewish man survive. He was later killed in a sovjet camp, for wearing the nazi clothes. Another example is the mother in the boy in striped pajamas, she freaked out when she found out what was actually going on at the concentration camp, furious at her husband and decided to move straight away. She treated the jewish slaves as actual humans, thanking a man for helping her son. We need more movies where that is portrayed. Feeling forced by society to hate, discriminate and hurt other people. So many things about war are horrible, but that's an angle i'd love to see further explored. The nuances. The grey areas. Love that stuff
This movie is so underrated. It has such deep message about identity and the dangers of nationalism. The actors did such an incredible job as well. I feel like this story could have benefited from being a mini series (3-5 episodes) to flesh out the characters more, kind of like Generation War or Band of Brothers.
It was truly sad that he killed his own son but thank GOD he didn't kill her. That would have really spoiled the whole movie. Edit: The whole irony though, of the father trying to protect his son from the war but then kills him at the end, crazy.
In reality he would have killed her too. Matter fact she would have been killed no more than 30 minutes into the “movie” when they came looking for her at her mom’s home and she was as buried in the ground. Good thing for films. They create fantasies and allow us to cope better with reality.
@@eliasziad7864 yes all the way for real for real. Black folks…black people…black cat…black dog. Anything remotely Black was not treated well by no other group of people. I could care less about which non black group treating Blacks a little better. They all were disrespectful and held a strong hatred toward Blacks. If you were not Snow White, blue eyes or anything close to that you had to walk around holding your breath because each step could have been your last. This film is a so called romantic tragedy, but “ain’t” nothing beautiful about stories like this film. They are disgusting.
Not one tear dropped. From the moment he caught interest in her and the showed the scene of his father watching him from the window it was already known tragedy was on both of their heels. It was just a matter of when, and not why why or how.
There were slaveowners' children that were beaten and killed for falling in love with the slaves and children of the slaves. There was one son who was whipped after being caught multiple times with a female slave. The female slave was murdered in front of him as punishment.
She survived but the 10000 plus “no namers” didn’t. But hey at “least she survived”…rightttttt. The thing about movies is some people can not separate “fiction” from actual facts. People would rather believe in movies because it makes them feel good. And I get it. Who don’t like a happy ending. But truth is truth no matter how heart breaking it is. But we can handle that, so fiction made movies sprinkled with a dash or two with supposed facts is enough to help folks sleep better at night.
Imagine all of the tragic yet beautiful stories like this, not even during WW2, but any war throughout history. War brings out the worst in people but there can also be beautiful stories of love that can come from the darkest of situations
Kinda hard to imagine when the story clearly never happened. Blacks, gypsies, and gay peoples were also persecuted by the Nazis. She would've been a walking target from day one. There weren't very many but having a love story about a black woman in Nazi Germany whitewashes the actual suffering of Africans during those periods.
@@sws212 It has happenend, freidrich albert a german pow and elinor powell, a black nurse later with Willi Schultz a german soldier and Ilse Stein a jew. You are right this story is an imaginative story but isn't a little funny how the wrath is more focused on a white man loving a black women lets be honest commercially the other way has also been used racially and unfairly portrayed love is beautiful to deny that is sad if people can love that are different races why is that so bad. The director is a black woman also she bridged a gap but many would rather burn that bridge.
it kind of reminds me of a real life story of a black soldier in ww2 who fell in love with a British girl during his service. i forgot their names, but I do remember that they faced extreme discrimination, and that they are still alive today after 80 years of marriage
Omg!! When Lutz was shot I literally gasped!! I can’t believe he did that to his own son! Wtf? I really wanted to see this movie but after seeing that I truly am upset about the outcome…but it’s a good movie nonetheless
I never cried so much whist watching a movie. A deeply emotional film about been black in this world. Being black during ww2. A truly painful film . Exception acting by Amanda Stenberg.
Definitely an interesting movie for sure. I knew that the ending for leyna and lutz would be tragic..but man I was still shocked the way it happened. This story also kinda reminds of the one with the black American nurse and German soldier falling in love. They had a happier ending from what I heard. Edit: Those interested in the story I was talking about read "enemies in love" yeah it's a book but I truly hope it does get made into a film one day.
She has family in Africa. The colonies are also gone, so she can live there safe and peaceful. Asia is also possible, but both don't have family there. So, Africa is the best choice. Good weather, plenty of fertile ground for food and fresh water, family of Leyna, everything to raise a child and live in peace. While in Europe and the west WW2 is fully enfolding. Also, after the war segregation and a lot of discrimination. I am sure they know which country their 50% African roots are from, so I am sure that will work out. She is not just black, she is from a specific country and there she has family. Africans always have huge families and even family-villages. So, it will be their best choice.
I think they called them Brown Babies. A lot were born to German women and black American G.I.’s. Unfortunately many were abandoned to orphanages. My handyman’s Grandfather was a Tukeegee airman. He went to Germany after the war and found his daughter. He adopted her and her friend. It would make a wonderful movie!
I’m gonna point out that wasn’t the case, this was years before the US invaded Germany. Her father was a Black French soldier who was part of the occupation of the Rhineland region, post WW1. Some of the French soldiers stationed in the Rhineland had relations with local German women but many of the White French soldiers were hostile towards the German populace. Black French soldiers (many of whom were from French African colonies) were a lot more sympathetic towards the German women and had relations with them, leading to a number of interracial children being born. They were dubbed the Rhineland Bastards by the Nazis and were heavily persecuted until many were ordered to be sterilized and sent the concentration camps per the Final Solution. Not many survived but a sizable few managed to survive the worst of the Holocaust.
@@thegreathistoricalbum Black men no matter what country they're from will sleep every white woman that's willing. Her, her best friend, her mom, her sister. Has nothing to do with feeling sympathetic or whatever. And yes they do keep numbers and brag about it.
Hope this info helps: This story is not based on one particular person, the writer themselves said that these characters and stories were based upon real historical documented accounts from mixed race Germans of all ages during the Nazi regime to reflect what life was like for them.
When you dislike a person for something they can't help... People can get in a tanning bed, bleach their skin, etc..but we can't change who we are. We all came from God and he loves us all. Be nice.
You need to read a bible and it blatantly states who God HATES, He created us all but no homosexual, fornicator, liar, adulterer etc. will enter heaven unless they REPENT AND ARE BORN AGAIN. Yes God wants everyone to get saved but the road to heaven is narrow and few are on it. Fornication? sex outside of marriage, the black culture disregards God's holy marriage covenant. Read the old test. God even condemns rioting in the streets.
There is a book called Growing Up Black in Nazi Germany. I forget the author's name (Hans M...) but it's definitely worth a read if anyone is interested. They did a series about it in Germany but the book is very intense as he details teh transformation of Germany before and during nazi rule. Shows how people who were perfectly normal, fine and rational people towards him (as a black boy in Germany) all of a sudden started to change as the nazi propaganda stirred racial hatred and ideas of supremacy.
The name is Hans Massaquoi and he clearly states that black or half black peopld were discriminated against but not sent to camps like this movie suggests.
@@zerigamestenkih9020 True, historical nonsense by ignorant people trying to milk the subject with just another nazi movie throwing in some racial issues to make it a bit more up-to-date.
The moment that the video mentioned the term "Rhinelandbastard" my suspicions were confirmed. You see, if Leyna is indeed 16 years old in 1944, her parentage is pretty odd at this point. Rhinelandbastards were the offspring of german mothers and men from the french occupation troops. And based on her age she must have been born in 1927 or 1928, but "Black" soldiers were quite a rarity, if there were still any, among the french occupation troops in the rhineland. If her father would have to be african of any sort, he most likely would have been Northern African (Algerian, Morrocon, Tunesian etc.) rathern than Subsaharan African. I think the last "senegalese" troops (as they were called back then) left the rhineland in 1921, so if she is supposed to be descendent of one of them, she is at least 6-7 years too young.
As in the say it happened when you think it didn't? Or did you word it wrong and meant to say that people deny that the Nazi's eugenics and ethnic cleansing happened.
I watched a documentary about a black woman that lives through the nazi regime and she said that although they were mistreated they weren’t put in concentration camps. They tried to sterilize them by not allowing them to get married.
@@jej495 As a jew, just because you feel oppressed doesn't mean you have the right to murder 12milllion people, 6million jews included and its not exaggerated. please try visiting a holocaust museum for more information.
@@jej495 how were the Jewish not innocent they were people who were making an honest living in a time were if they believed in something else they would get punished
@@jej495 Germans weren't really being oppressed, well maybe outside of germany in countries like France or UK because of ww1. Also I would like to know what makes the Jewish "not innocent"? Antisemitism in germany had long existed in germany even before Hitler. Hitler only used the antisemitic ideology to blame every problem on the jews(and the allied nations)
I saw this at the theaters, in the end of the war anyone that was not pure Aryan was punished, that is how she ends up in the camps not interned to die by execution. The irony of his father keeping at home in of all places a Concentration camp to keep him from dying in the front is just cruel.
What do you mean by "anyone who was not aryan was punished" That makes no sense. The majority of Germans have brown hair, and all of them were granted their aryan documents. As long as you did not have a jewish parent or grandparent you were automatically aryan.
@@BenDover-pr9gy , The Nazis had this weird obsession with racial lineage, people had to be 90% German I think. All the other mixed groups were treated with less freedoms or options down the line.
I really liked this movie. I found it fascinating that Leyna had been so conditioned that she thought it was okay to call the man who was killed in the street "a good Jew" instead of a human being who deserved to be treated as such on the merit of his HUMANITY. I found it fascinating that once Leyna was in the concentration camp she experienced anti-black racism even from the Jews in the concentration camp with her. With all the horrors they were experiencing they still had time to be racist. It reminded me of the stories of the American men who'd fought in WWII and came back to the U.S. only to be threatened with death for having the audacity to try to eat inside with the German and Italian POW's and other "white" men, instead of knowing his place and going outside to the back to eat. It reminds me of the harrowing stories of escape from Ukraine and even then there was/is time to be racist and not allow students from different African countries and other non-"white" students and people to escape to safety or go back home. It's fascinating how deep this kind of hate can go. It's deeper than the bone. I look forward to the time when all humanity is valued.
It's not fascinating it's just idiotic and SAD! Imagine if other animals discriminated against one another, for example, what if all pitbulls were aggressive towards all chihuahuas simply because they're smaller than them. Well that just sounds dumb! We're the smartest being on earth yet somehow end up being the dumbest beings on earth...
Also, not to get too dark but I’m pretty sure none of those women were Jews she was staying with except for the one who was her friend and that was because she was hiding the fact that she was a Jew. The Jews were staying on the other side of that fence where the chimney stacks were………..
@@rachelzapata9819 Doesn't matter whether the women were jews or not. In real life, the jews discriminated against the blacks after escaping from germany and even now. You can read many articles of how they always felt about us. Look up what they had to say about our people being killed by the police. No empathy whatsoever and very cruel. Yet, they want us to feel sorry for them. They forgot do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
as a german I can not explain how depressing the past of germany is. We get school education on it but not enough. I read a lot of books about the jews and about personal experiences. I volunteer by working at a elders home (i read them books and spend time with them as entertainment ). And I have talked to germans and german jews. They tell me the depressing storys and I try hardly to hold back my tears but I can not do it. As someone who is originally from Syria ( where war is at the moment) I know how hard it is to loose someone, to be prisoned , to get beat up, to have no rights, to face racism and so on. I get those horrible flashbacks and I wish that ppl would understand how horrible war is for everyone and that they should stop it. I prey for peace everyday
I just want a woman, a Black woman, in a situation where she doesn't have to to argue or battle for her worth. For her beauty to be accepted. It's like you don't need to win teh affection of anybody. And you don't have to love someone whose hurting you.
This is a historical film based on interracial babies who were born when French colonial troops (mostly african), mixed with Germans in the rhineland and saar valley regions.
The movie is supposed to make you cry. To get views. It's story is always to make you believe that one side is totally bad and the other innocent and good. Yet, what often is not mentioned is that bot sides have certain grounds of motivations. They are more than just "immoral dumb racism". The public is persuaded by certain ideas, causes, developments, ideals. And as long, we just can see the world threw their eyes we will never win. I am not saying you have agree with them, but try to understand what motivates them. It's more, than just "stupid people". This is what movies like this fails to show. They just. show a fully personal story of the victim, but a cold distant enemy with no backside story. They should show a movie from the other side and try to let us experience why millions of people followed this movement. It was because after WW1 the Germans where blamed for the war and ripped of pieces of land. Germany was in massive debt and the new found land that was given to other countries the local innocent German civilians where mocked there and had to adopt a new citizenship, like Poland and Czecks. Also, more and more people where so poor, they could not eat and many would even sell their body for sex. Then a man came and promised to restore a unified Germany and become a strong nation again. Can you imagine, being a fully stripped of your citizenship, in debt, poor, hungry, beaten and then a man comes who promises you riches, food, shelter, power and glory? And then delivers. People would give their life for them. Does that make me racist? No, it makes me understand the motivation and better insights of the German public and history. Instead of sheer ignorance & biased prejudices. Like the bad guys, and the good guys. Add some depth to it, human.
@@jeniestra. I totally agree with you! Even worse than scum. All I was trying to do, is add some depth on why many normal people like you and me, fell for their propaganda. That's all. Or is analysing how normal everyday people fell for their agenda evil to do? How you gonna understand racism today, if you are not allowed to discuss the causes in history?
The Kommandant was not a General. The four pips on his left collar indicate that he is an SS-Sturmbannführer, which would be equivalent roughly to the rank of Major.
I just found this channel and cannot stop watching. I just can't believe the quality of the movies reviewed. Every single one so far has had depth and meaning and a good story. Am I dreaming??? Thank you!!
The woman at the center of this story is of black African descent. In the U.S., people of black African descent, have every blend imaginable, biracial included, due to our slave history. Before integration, we made up a united and proud community and we never, ever denied an individual's white or other race parent. What we embraced, as a community, was the fact that it's the black blood in us that was at the heart of legalized oppression that included everything from "Colored Only" water fountains to requirements to sit on the back of the bus behind whites. This oppression applied to ALL people of black African descent, not just the sibling(s) who came out dark enough for you to call "Black." Peeps: At the end of the day, the idea of "race" is racist. Period. However, until people show through their actions -- not politically-correct talk (that divides the Black Community by your superficial color lines) -- that they see all humans as humans, the majority of us will celebrate an identity around our Blackness, no matter what percent "other" is within us.
There are so many videos now when black people are claiming that bi-racial people aren't black and don't want them called black women. Times are changing. Now, under the guise of protecting the race, people are not embracing bi-racial. So, now everyone is doing the whole superficial color lines. My great-grandfather would tell me stories about the colored only bathrooms. He was lighter skinned and spoke about how he and his wife were ostracized in the black community because of it. The truth is that it's not all united and never has been. There is way too much in-fighting and some hold themselves back just as much as they accuse others of doing so. I have been told I'm not black enough or because of how I speak I'm trying to be white. I have ignored it because I simply don't care, but there is no way that black community is united.
This is so saddddd 😢😢😢😓 this looks so good but I wouldn’t be able to watch it. He killed his own son to protect His reputation. The actress has played in a lot of good movies. I love how she’s comfortable in her own skin. She’s cut her hair off in another one of her movies as well.
Idk if I need to watch the movie now. U basically described it to a “T”, this was so sad and with a happy ending. So sad how they were treated and the father of her child being killed and left there. Great job telling the narrative of this movie.
@@s3v3n3 the boy in the striped Pyjamas is not a good representative movie about Nazi Germany. It literally sympathizes more with the Nazi family in the end than with the millions of people who died in the concentration camps
@@s3v3n3 plus, Bruno would’ve already known about Hitler. He would’ve been in the so called Hitler youth. His father was an SS officer so there is no way he wouldn’t have known about what was going on in these camps. Even the mother didn’t have a clue.
@@perrytheplatapus3649 It's not right to look upon it with the 'what could of been' but what 'what is now' and in that movie I see two kids that are supposed to be enemies, but they're kids, pure. They becoming considerably good friends and the son of the Nazi dies to one of the contraptions that he supports the murder of many more. So it's a great movie to see the irony in it but also the humane spectacle of it all.
@@perrytheplatapus3649 The movie sympathizes more with the boys on the end of the spectrum, people who feel bad and empathize for the family seems fine. The movie has stirred up a lot of mixed emotions.

you should see some of the real historical footage of those camps poor little 3 years olds being separated from there moms and taken to be killed because they couldn't work i don't offend cry but the things people can do
Also, George Mckay, the man who plays the soldier who falls in love with the girl is a fantastic actor. He can do so much variety of acting. The man should win an oscar one day. He was amazing in 1917, and the ww2 film Defiance.

Definitely gonna add this to my must watch list. I felt for the girl. She's beautiful. How I wish for all humanity to speak with one language.. the language of LOVE. Loved the narration and the voice.
Imagine being so hateful to be tormenting someone for a skin complexion that #1 shouldn't be a fucking problem in the first place and #2 even if there was a logical explanation for a problem that individual had no control over that...
Exactly, it sounds like one of those cheesy movies that are just trying to include black people. Before anyone says I'm being racist towards black people, just know that this is coming from one.
@@sledge2105 no it's not just "trying to include black people" that's apart of the whole message, that black people can change racists if they just forgive them. The movie is ridiculous just not for that reason
Watching and listening to this story makes it all seem so simple. We are all divided by small things. Things so small it makes no difference at all. Its only when we decide to focus on the difference. We are all human being and we have more in common then not. But why do we choose to make difference our enemy? We only hurt each other and society when we choose hate over love!😞🎶🎶🎶
Systematic hate and a system designed to oppress and keep my people in poverty or from truly succeeding is not a small matter. Shooting and violently assaulting my people just for being in a place and receiving no do justice for it is not a small matter. These people have shown us time and time again for thousands of years just who they are and how they feel about us. The outcome has never been favorable for us nor beneficial. This movie is an example. People suffer from the "happy place" syndrome. It doesn't exist. The real world is filled with cruel, selfish people who type nonsense over the internet about being one but pass by a homeless man/woman on their way to work every day and don't bother to give so much as a glance of acknowledgment to them. All this peace, love and togetherness but no real action is what mankind has become, hollow souls full of empty words.
History makes me so sad... i wanna know the truth but its so depressing just knowing how evil people were over nothing. Over small things.. millions of lives stopped, eradicated, and lost over what.. absolutely nothing.. people STILL going thru it here in USA and abroad.. like there is so much misery and evil...
First of all she is so pretty and innocent, secondly this movie made me cry so emotional it’s funny how love can be this sweet and filled with so much pain , double edge sword
Bloody awesome movie, had me in tears and it a wonder why my German Ancestors left there homeland to Ireland because they do not like Adolf Hitler ways and secretly had to hide their identity of where they come from because they feel that Ireland may think they are spy. I am a native woman in my homeland New Zealand and it a privilege to have a foreign ancestry that has a special place in my family whakapapa......💕🙌🏼
The Dim-o-CULT is trying in various ways to make Hitler Jugend rise again in Amerika. Two years ago AOC mentioned rounding up Republican parents and sending them to "re-education kamps" (the original name for the WWII death kamps), and taking their children to be raised by the fascist "liberal" CULT. That's how close we are to this happening again here in the US. Evil people get knocked down, but they never stop.
@@truthseeker690 exactly, I can imagine her telling stories about how of an amazing man he was to the child, when he/she grows up and starts asking about the father
When I tell people I'm Jewish they look at me like I'm insane. Most have no Idea how Blacks play a role in the take down of Germany. My grandfather had to change his last name even though he was Black just in case he got captured. I'm multi-raced (as I call it) of Native American, African American and White(Jewish). Growing up I didn't fit in anywhere in the 80's and 90's I definitely couldn't imagine being alive there during these times. Even though my Grandfather was a Marine, my Dad was a Marine and my brothers are military fighting and dying for America we're still fighting to be treated equally. The way our history intertwines and all debt paid 400 plus years over this hate still exists.
Movie name - Where Hands Touch
So many asking n no one posting it smh
The video states it in the beginning
What’s the movie called?
People in the comment section gotta be stupid if they really dont know the name.
Thank you so much for posting the movie name.
No one’s answering bc it’s literally said in the first ten seconds of the video 💀
My grandmother was half German and half black French too. She was a teen too during the middle of second world war so this is just like watching her life story because she went through a similar life. In my grandma's case she spent most of it hiding in bunkers. She escaped to France by disguising herself as a bag of potatoes. This just brings me to tears watching this and remembering her narrating her life to us. She died in 2004. She was 88.
oh my goodness what a gem of a grandmother u had, i’d love to hear more i LOVE THIS era because it was my beloved grandmothers era (born in 1925), my gma was my everything. she’s everything a woman wife friend mother gma etc should ever aspire to be like. i’ve never met anyone else like that woman….many people don’t know how discriminated italian/sicilians we’re back in the 1920ies/30ies my grandparents from sicily that came here as kids had experiences with none of the other nationality kids (as italians were looked at as dangerous dirty thugs because of the mafia even tho they weren’t mafia related and hated the mafia themselves) i have no idea why i didn’t ask what about the spanish and black kids but if i remember correctly there just wasn’t any where they grew up in NY but i wish i thought to ask more before i lost my grandparents especially my grandma i was closest with who told me all these stories in the most depth. God bless you and your family 💜

It's pretty interesting how she ended up repeating her mother's footsteps. Fell in love and had a baby at a fairly young age, and her lover was ripped away from her, just as her father was from her mother

The rescue by the black soldier warmed my heart. She was finally seen and accepted by someone. And probably would have never known it would come from someone who was like her and had both strength and compassion, because she had never seen someone who looked like her in a position of power.
Yh. I found that was a powerful turning point …that after all that struggle she saw strength and power ie the capability to save herself in her own reflection. She needed that as I am sure she reflected that if she had left with lutz when he was begging her to, he naught have not been killed like that. She refused bc for her she is German.

Back than it was harsh living as a black person or as a bi racial in Europe. they faced lots of racism and discrimination. but it was the same situation for black people living in the U.S as well. the past was hard for black people everywhere.
In the film her mom is German, so she believes she is the same as her mom although people’s treatment towards her showed her that was not true. She was her mother’s daughter so she has German DNA, but she didn’t “look” German. I wouldn’t say she was proud per se, but she was just trying to fit in and live despite her being unaware of how deeply people felt about her “tinted” skin.

@@aaronbatiste5385 what are you saying without knowing.
I'm Muslim myself and I know my own religion pretty well. Arabs does not equal Muslim at all. Most Muslims are Asian like I said (the biggest Muslim country being Indonesia) Islam is not an ethno centric religion unlike Judaism so being Muslim doesn't have anything to do with being part of a certain race. It's just the Quran that is written in Arabic and the prayers are pronounced in Arabic.
That's why a lot of people from different races and countries convert to Islam. Absolutely everyone can be a Muslim.
This is common knowledge. Please go instruct yourself on those topic before saying false things because we are exhausted with this idea of Arab=Muslim.
The Nazis did not really care about black people in Germany. But she is the child of a French colonial soldier and a German mother. Children fathered by foreign invaders are always seen as an insult and shame, the circumstances how the woman got pregnant ,are secondary. The French and Germans had been enemies for decades. Being half-black and of her age, the possibilty of her father being a foreign invader was high. But they were not targeted for extermination. The worst what would happen was sterilisation. Still bad, but better than what was in stock for the majority of Slavs or Jews.
There wasn't really a lot of black people in Germany at that time. So they weren't seen as a parasite leaching of German people, like they saw Jewish and Slavic people. But what are you basing your statement on? A movie? Nazis saw everyone who didn't work for them as inferior and literally based their country on race supremacy theory, so yeah they didn't care about black people because there was no black people in Germany at that time not because they thought they were cool.
I disagree, sterilization is the worst thing you can do to someone.

They were very common throughout the Rhineland as it was occupied by the French between 1918 and 1930. Many French Senegalese Tirailleur troops got into relationships with German women during the occupation. There's loads of documentation and information out there of those children and how they were discriminated against.

I actually really loved this movie for a specific reason. Rarely we're shown any nazis as good people in historic movies. What most people miss is that literally everyone in Germany, had to join the Nazis. For example, they first started out having awesome summer camps, to make the kids want to go there, and the leaders would sneak in some propaganda between the fun. Then, they'd make all other summer camps shut down, so basically if you wanted to go to a summer camp, nazi camp was the only one avaliable. Later they made being part of the nazi youth obligatory. And as an adult, imagine a life where most people in charge are nazis, and if you don't do what they say they will kill you. As a girl, you'd probably be married off to some nazi officer, and as a boy you'd be a soldier. It was not a choice. And for many the things they were forced to do by their superiors, they would have refused if they could. I also imagine this was a time of thriving for sociopaths and psychopaths, like imagine being allowed, no actually encouraged to use violence, to murder, to torture, to rap.e. I brought out the worst in some people for sure, all wars do, but I'm still left thinking about the horrible actions people were forced to commit. I have a few other movie examples of this, the nazi in "the pianist" he didn't see to actually hate jews, he felt sorry for them and excused their actions, while helping a jewish man survive. He was later killed in a sovjet camp, for wearing the nazi clothes. Another example is the mother in the boy in striped pajamas, she freaked out when she found out what was actually going on at the concentration camp, furious at her husband and decided to move straight away. She treated the jewish slaves as actual humans, thanking a man for helping her son. We need more movies where that is portrayed. Feeling forced by society to hate, discriminate and hurt other people. So many things about war are horrible, but that's an angle i'd love to see further explored. The nuances. The grey areas. Love that stuff
but nazie hate black and jews right ,?

I’m gonna point out that wasn’t the case, this was years before the US invaded Germany.
Her father was a Black French soldier who was part of the occupation of the Rhineland region, post WW1. Some of the French soldiers stationed in the Rhineland had relations with local German women but many of the White French soldiers were hostile towards the German populace.
Black French soldiers (many of whom were from French African colonies) were a lot more sympathetic towards the German women and had relations with them, leading to a number of interracial children being born. They were dubbed the Rhineland Bastards by the Nazis and were heavily persecuted until many were ordered to be sterilized and sent the concentration camps per the Final Solution. Not many survived but a sizable few managed to survive the worst of the Holocaust.

True, historical nonsense by ignorant people trying to milk the subject with just another nazi movie throwing in some racial issues to make it a bit more up-to-date.
The moment that the video mentioned the term "Rhinelandbastard" my suspicions were confirmed. You see, if Leyna is indeed 16 years old in 1944, her parentage is pretty odd at this point. Rhinelandbastards were the offspring of german mothers and men from the french occupation troops. And based on her age she must have been born in 1927 or 1928, but "Black" soldiers were quite a rarity, if there were still any, among the french occupation troops in the rhineland. If her father would have to be african of any sort, he most likely would have been Northern African (Algerian, Morrocon, Tunesian etc.) rathern than Subsaharan African. I think the last "senegalese" troops (as they were called back then) left the rhineland in 1921, so if she is supposed to be descendent of one of them, she is at least 6-7 years too young.

And in the end, he killed his own son anyway.
What do you mean by "anyone who was not aryan was punished"
That makes no sense. The majority of Germans have brown hair, and all of them were granted their aryan documents. As long as you did not have a jewish parent or grandparent you were automatically aryan.
@@BenDover-pr9gy , The Nazis had this weird obsession with racial lineage, people had to be 90% German I think. All the other mixed groups were treated with less freedoms or options down the line.
What's the title of this movie?
@@bingo8882 , When hands Touch, an ironic little title for such a horrible experience of war.
Baffled that he killed his own son but let the girl and child live. His hate was that much stronger than his love. That is psycho
I really liked this movie. I found it fascinating that Leyna had been so conditioned that she thought it was okay to call the man who was killed in the street "a good Jew" instead of a human being who deserved to be treated as such on the merit of his HUMANITY. I found it fascinating that once Leyna was in the concentration camp she experienced anti-black racism even from the Jews in the concentration camp with her. With all the horrors they were experiencing they still had time to be racist. It reminded me of the stories of the American men who'd fought in WWII and came back to the U.S. only to be threatened with death for having the audacity to try to eat inside with the German and Italian POW's and other "white" men, instead of knowing his place and going outside to the back to eat. It reminds me of the harrowing stories of escape from Ukraine and even then there was/is time to be racist and not allow students from different African countries and other non-"white" students and people to escape to safety or go back home. It's fascinating how deep this kind of hate can go. It's deeper than the bone. I look forward to the time when all humanity is valued.
Yes, when the melanated Mashiach sits in Jerusalem as king of the world and puts white supremacy to the 'sword' then you will see it!
It's not fascinating it's just idiotic and SAD! Imagine if other animals discriminated against one another, for example, what if all pitbulls were aggressive towards all chihuahuas simply because they're smaller than them. Well that just sounds dumb! We're the smartest being on earth yet somehow end up being the dumbest beings on earth...
Also, not to get too dark but I’m pretty sure none of those women were Jews she was staying with except for the one who was her friend and that was because she was hiding the fact that she was a Jew. The Jews were staying on the other side of that fence where the chimney stacks were………..
@Based Location It must hurt to hear the truth. Oh well, keep crying!! ✌
@@rachelzapata9819 Doesn't matter whether the women were jews or not. In real life, the jews discriminated against the blacks after escaping from germany and even now. You can read many articles of how they always felt about us. Look up what they had to say about our people being killed by the police. No empathy whatsoever and very cruel. Yet, they want us to feel sorry for them. They forgot do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
There was no hesitation when shooting his son I’ve never even see the movie and I almost cried
This is heartbreaking knowing my aunt is/ was like Leyna.
If never met her. I pray she had a great life!
Fuck - the evil and injustice that a human has endured for looking different. Thank you for the great narration!
The boy trusted his Father and shared his secret but instead the Father killed him 💔😭
I've ave seen better parenting in my life...
If only the father help his son to escape, he chose to silence him 😭😭
He doesn't want that🤫 Shame to fester😓sad b true omg♀️🖕🖕🏼
They could’ve had a happy ending so close 😭

This movie is literally the saddest. Watched it with my mama and we both cried like crazy. Such a bonding moment for us ❤
What is the name of the movie
@@fabiedesrosins where hands touch
Girl
as a german I can not explain how depressing the past of germany is. We get school education on it but not enough. I read a lot of books about the jews and about personal experiences. I volunteer by working at a elders home (i read them books and spend time with them as entertainment ). And I have talked to germans and german jews. They tell me the depressing storys and I try hardly to hold back my tears but I can not do it. As someone who is originally from Syria ( where war is at the moment) I know how hard it is to loose someone, to be prisoned , to get beat up, to have no rights, to face racism and so on. I get those horrible flashbacks and I wish that ppl would understand how horrible war is for everyone and that they should stop it.
I prey for peace everyday
At least Germany takes responsibility for its past actions, unlike Japan or Bulgaria. I lost so many family members to the latter.....

This!!! 👍
This is a historical film based on interracial babies who were born when French colonial troops (mostly african), mixed with Germans in the rhineland and saar valley regions.
💕
This movie is heartbreaking, like every movie about World War II because all that was so messed up.
The movie is supposed to make you cry. To get views.
It's story is always to make you believe that one side is totally bad and the other innocent and good.
Yet, what often is not mentioned is that bot sides have certain grounds of motivations. They are more than just "immoral dumb racism".
The public is persuaded by certain ideas, causes, developments, ideals. And as long, we just can see the world threw their eyes we will never win.
I am not saying you have agree with them, but try to understand what motivates them. It's more, than just "stupid people".
This is what movies like this fails to show. They just. show a fully personal story of the victim, but a cold distant enemy with no backside story.
They should show a movie from the other side and try to let us experience why millions of people followed this movement.
It was because after WW1 the Germans where blamed for the war and ripped of pieces of land. Germany was in massive debt and the new found land that was given to other countries the local innocent German civilians where mocked there and had to adopt a new citizenship, like Poland and Czecks.
Also, more and more people where so poor, they could not eat and many would even sell their body for sex.
Then a man came and promised to restore a unified Germany and become a strong nation again. Can you imagine, being a fully stripped of your citizenship, in debt, poor, hungry, beaten and then a man comes who promises you riches, food, shelter, power and glory? And then delivers. People would give their life for them.
Does that make me racist? No, it makes me understand the motivation and better insights of the German public and history.
Instead of sheer ignorance & biased prejudices. Like the bad guys, and the good guys. Add some depth to it, human.
@@JoostEurovisionFans I'm not reading your speech. Hitler and the Nazis were scumbags, no matter how you try to spin it.
@@jeniestra. I totally agree with you! Even worse than scum. All I was trying to do, is add some depth on why many normal people like you and me, fell for their propaganda. That's all. Or is analysing how normal everyday people fell for their agenda evil to do? How you gonna understand racism today, if you are not allowed to discuss the causes in history?

Name?
Lutz has a great heart for Leyla and he makes her feel like she's human to him.
The Kommandant was not a General. The four pips on his left collar indicate that he is an SS-Sturmbannführer, which would be equivalent roughly to the rank of Major.

I just found this channel and cannot stop watching. I just can't believe the quality of the movies reviewed. Every single one so far has had depth and meaning and a good story. Am I dreaming??? Thank you!!
The woman at the center of this story is of black African descent.
In the U.S., people of black African descent, have every blend imaginable, biracial included, due to our slave history. Before integration, we made up a united and proud community and we never, ever denied an individual's white or other race parent.
What we embraced, as a community, was the fact that it's the black blood in us that was at the heart of legalized oppression that included everything from "Colored Only" water fountains to requirements to sit on the back of the bus behind whites. This oppression applied to ALL people of black African descent, not just the sibling(s) who came out dark enough for you to call "Black."
Peeps: At the end of the day, the idea of "race" is racist.
Period.
However, until people show through their actions -- not politically-correct talk (that divides the Black Community by your superficial color lines) -- that they see all humans as humans, the majority of us will celebrate an identity around our Blackness, no matter what percent "other" is within us.
Her mom is actually black & her dad is white irl
There are so many videos now when black people are claiming that bi-racial people aren't black and don't want them called black women. Times are changing. Now, under the guise of protecting the race, people are not embracing bi-racial. So, now everyone is doing the whole superficial color lines. My great-grandfather would tell me stories about the colored only bathrooms. He was lighter skinned and spoke about how he and his wife were ostracized in the black community because of it. The truth is that it's not all united and never has been. There is way too much in-fighting and some hold themselves back just as much as they accuse others of doing so. I have been told I'm not black enough or because of how I speak I'm trying to be white. I have ignored it because I simply don't care, but there is no way that black community is united.
This is so saddddd 😢😢😢😓 this looks so good but I wouldn’t be able to watch it. He killed his own son to protect His reputation. The actress has played in a lot of good movies. I love how she’s comfortable in her own skin. She’s cut her hair off in another one of her movies as well.
Idk if I need to watch the movie now. U basically described it to a “T”, this was so sad and with a happy ending. So sad how they were treated and the father of her child being killed and left there. Great job telling the narrative of this movie.
The ending part had my heart. ❤️ I was crying so bad when she reunited with her family
Wow, this was so depressing to hear and see. I cannot believe what people of color had to go through by the hands of these ignorant inhuman creatures
This would go next after The Boy In The Striped Pajamas, both are equally as depressing
@@s3v3n3 the boy in the striped Pyjamas is not a good representative movie about Nazi Germany. It literally sympathizes more with the Nazi family in the end than with the millions of people who died in the concentration camps
@@s3v3n3 plus, Bruno would’ve already known about Hitler. He would’ve been in the so called Hitler youth. His father was an SS officer so there is no way he wouldn’t have known about what was going on in these camps. Even the mother didn’t have a clue.
@@perrytheplatapus3649 It's not right to look upon it with the 'what could of been' but what 'what is now' and in that movie I see two kids that are supposed to be enemies, but they're kids, pure. They becoming considerably good friends and the son of the Nazi dies to one of the contraptions that he supports the murder of many more. So it's a great movie to see the irony in it but also the humane spectacle of it all.
@@perrytheplatapus3649 The movie sympathizes more with the boys on the end of the spectrum, people who feel bad and empathize for the family seems fine. The movie has stirred up a lot of mixed emotions.
Movie seems a bit fake and has classic Hollywood dramatization going on, but the biracial "Rhineland bastards" were absolutely a real thing.
And many died in the Holocaust
I just wish they had their happy ending. They deserved to be together and it’s so tragic how things went down. Broke my heart.
Elinor Powell and Friedrich Albert
Me being German and black and with my family background and history this movie definitely hit me differently.
Nazi dad's are brutally terrible
I really feel sorry for the boy 😔😔🙏 I was expecting they'll have married and leave happily
At least she reunited with her family
you should see some of the real historical footage of those camps poor little 3 years olds being separated from there moms and taken to be killed because they couldn't work
i don't offend cry but the things people can do
this movie is heartbreaking.
Also, George Mckay, the man who plays the soldier who falls in love with the girl is a fantastic actor. He can do so much variety of acting. The man should win an oscar one day. He was amazing in 1917, and the ww2 film Defiance.
It's so sad to see Cone getting brainwashed to even hate his own sister but that was the truh back then.
Rlly wish lutz didn’t die bro 😔
he was a nazi
I know I am still shocked. Just whhyyy ???? I mean I know why but like... still.
This is as good as watching the movie itself…and you waste less time doing it.

"He gave her some cheese as a present"
Well damn ,he was seriously courting her

I haven’t cried more from a movie. It was both beautiful and truly a tragic story:(
Was it true?
“Spoilers ahead” *literally shows the protagonist dead seconds before*
Definitely gonna add this to my must watch list. I felt for the girl. She's beautiful. How I wish for all humanity to speak with one language.. the language of LOVE. Loved the narration and the voice.
Imagine being so hateful to be tormenting someone for a skin complexion that #1 shouldn't be a fucking problem in the first place and #2 even if there was a logical explanation for a problem that individual had no control over that...
Just remember how easily people can be brainwashed by a person in power its been happening for century's.
My life be like
Africa is the cradle of civilization. Africans are the closest to God's creation. Beginning in the Garden of Eden.
It didn’t have to do with skin color it had to do with genetics.
They believed people with “pure” Aryan blood was superior.

Nothing was good about it,it broke my heart that she lost the love of her life and father of unborn child. Horrible ending....
Watching and listening to this story makes it all seem so simple. We are all divided by small things. Things so small it makes no difference at all. Its only when we decide to focus on the difference. We are all human being and we have more in common then not. But why do we choose to make difference our enemy? We only hurt each other and society when we choose hate over love!😞🎶🎶🎶
What a load of 🛌 🔧ing bull 😆 😆
Systematic hate and a system designed to oppress and keep my people in poverty or from truly succeeding is not a small matter. Shooting and violently assaulting my people just for being in a place and receiving no do justice for it is not a small matter. These people have shown us time and time again for thousands of years just who they are and how they feel about us. The outcome has never been favorable for us nor beneficial. This movie is an example. People suffer from the "happy place" syndrome. It doesn't exist. The real world is filled with cruel, selfish people who type nonsense over the internet about being one but pass by a homeless man/woman on their way to work every day and don't bother to give so much as a glance of acknowledgment to them. All this peace, love and togetherness but no real action is what mankind has become, hollow souls full of empty words.
History makes me so sad... i wanna know the truth but its so depressing just knowing how evil people were over nothing. Over small things.. millions of lives stopped, eradicated, and lost over what.. absolutely nothing.. people STILL going thru it here in USA and abroad.. like there is so much misery and evil...
First of all she is so pretty and innocent, secondly this movie made me cry so emotional it’s funny how love can be this sweet and filled with so much pain , double edge sword

The Dim-o-CULT is trying in various ways to make Hitler Jugend rise again in Amerika.
Two years ago AOC mentioned rounding up Republican parents and sending them to "re-education kamps" (the original name for the WWII death kamps), and taking their children to be raised by the fascist "liberal" CULT.
