Brown Babies: The Mischlingskinder Story is a powerful new documentary which tells the story of six so-called “brown babies” born in postwar occupation Germany.

They were born to German women and African-American soldiers. As illegitimate, biracial, bicultural childrenwho were unwanted by enemy nations, their lives were tragic. For the first time Brown Babies: The Mischlingskinder Story reveals this little known remarkable piece of history through the compelling life stories of the children and their birth parents.

Regina Griffin is the Executive Producer of Brown Babies: The Mischlingskinder Story. She is an Emmy award-winning news producer formerly of CBS News and is currently Executive Producer of Sunday Morning Programming at WUSA-TV.
