ABSTRACT Webb’s article assesses the impact of the Nazi persecution of European Jews on black civil rights activism in the United States. It demonstrates how African Americans, motivated by genuine moral outrage as well as political opportunism, drew explicit analogies between their own oppression and the suffering of European Jewry. Black activists decried what they saw as the hypocrisy of white Americans for condemning Nazism while complacently ignoring the often violent racial discrimination that persisted in their own country. African Americans hoped that in highlighting this contradiction they would embarrass their own government into taking more interventionist action against white supremacists and thereby advance the cause of racial equality. This strategy persisted throughout the Second World War and the mass civil rights activism of the decades that followed.

纳粹对犹太人的迫害与非裔美国人的自由斗争

摘要 Webb 的文章评估了纳粹对欧洲犹太人的迫害对美国黑人民权运动的影响。它展示了非裔美国人如何在真正的道德愤怒和政治机会主义的推动下,将他们自己的压迫与欧洲犹太人的苦难进行明确的类比。黑人活动家谴责他们认为美国白人谴责纳粹主义是虚伪的行为,同时又自满地忽视了在他们自己国家持续存在的经常是暴力的种族歧视。非裔美国人希望通过强调这一矛盾,让他们自己的政府难堪,对白人至上主义者采取更多的干预行动,从而推动种族平等事业。
