Summary
Hans-Jürgen Massaquoi wird 1926 in Hamburg als Sohn der deutschen Krankenschwester Bertha Baetz und des aus Liberia stammenden Al Haj Massaquoi geboren.Sein Grossvater väterlicherseits ist Momolu Massaquoi, Generalkonsul von Liberia in Hamburg und der erste Diplomat aus einem afrikanischen Land in Deutschland. Wegen seiner dunklen Hautfarbe entstehen dem Jungen im aufkommenden Dritten Reich zahlreiche Probleme. So wird er zum Beispiel trotz guter Leistungen in der Schule benachteiligt oder im Schulsport an den Pranger gestellt, ausserdem wird ihm der Beitritt zum Jungvolk, zur Wehrmacht oder der Zutritt zu Luftschutzbunkern bei Angriffen verwehrt. Er und seine Mutter müssen gegen Vorurteile ankämpfen und versuchen, in immer unmenschlicher werdenden Zeiten zu überleben.
This two-part television drama is based on the childhood memories of Hans Jürgen Massaquoi, born in Hamburg to a white German mother and a Liberian Vai father, who was one of the very few German-born children of German and African descent in all of Nazi Germany. The grandson of the Liberian consul general to Germany, Momulu Massaquoi, Hans Jürgen miraculously escaped Nazi persecution and dreamed of joining the Hitler Youth, but he was often shunned and his skin color made him a target for racist abuse.
