He has no surviving relatives and there is nothing that reflects him in his own terms. If we show these archive pictures and documents, we run the risk of repeating the degradations that Mohamed Husen had to go though. If we don\u2019t show them, he will remain forever forgotten in the archives.\u00ab<br \/>\n\u2013 Eva Knopf<\/p>\n<p>Born in the then colony of German East Africa, Majub bin Adam Mohamed Hussein went on to become a soldier for the Germans in the First World War. He was just nine years old. After the Germans lost the war, they didn\u2019t give him his pay. Subsequently, some ten years after the war, Majub decided to collect his wages in person. Thus it was that in National Socialist Germany a colonial soldier from the First World War became an extra and bit player much in demand for the German film industry. Whenever a black person was needed in the films of the Nazi period, it was nearly always Majub who got the part. He was Zarah Leander\u2019s chauffeur, Hans Albers\u2019s servant and Heinz Ru\u0308hmann\u2019s lift boy. In her essayistic documentary film <strong>Majub&#8217;s Journey<\/strong>, director Eva Knopf relates the story of his childhood in the colonies, his life in Nazi Germany and his place in the colonial fantasies of the Germans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":20154,"template":"","movie_year":[101],"movie_genre":[85],"movie_cat":[349],"festival":[565],"class_list":["post-11484","movie","type-movie","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","movie_year-101","movie_genre-documentary-en","movie_cat-panorama-en-2014","festival-2014-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 -
