Brown Babies: The Mischlingskinder Story reveals a little known chapter

of Black history! The film documents an era during post WWII Germany

when African American soldiers fathered children with German women. The

children became known as ’brown babies’ and/ or Mischlingskinder. These

biracial, bicultural, mostly illegitimate babies were often unwanted and

placed in orphanages, foster care, or adopted. A must-see film that is

not just African American history, it is not just American history, it

is world history. Brown Babies: The Mischlingskinder Story is a film

that poignantly chronicles the lives of six ‘brown babies’ born in

postwar occupation Germany.
