A lifelong odyssey
Saeed Ahmed - Staff
Thursday, March 15, 2001
Born to a Liberian father and a German mother in Hitler's Germany, Hans Massaquoi survived years
of Nazi terror as a black child growing up in a time when white skin and so-called Aryan blood were
revered.
Massaquoi will recall his coming-of-age struggles in Atlanta appearances next week to promote
his memoir, "Destined to Witness."
Now 75, he will recount how as a child, he --- like other German
boys --- swiftly fell under Hitler's spell, only to realize he was considered an "outsider" and barred from
secondary education and professional training. Through sports figures such as Jesse Owens, he attached
his racial identity to that of black Americans and later emigrated to the United States, where he eventually
became an editor at Ebony magazine.
Massaquoi will take part in a luncheon discussion about his book at
Clark Atlanta University on Wednesday and meet with students at Emory University that evening. The
next day, he will participate in an event at the William Bremen Jewish Heritage Museum and sign copies
of his book at the Auburn Avenue Research Library. For information, call 404-730-4001, Ext. 302.
