Please note that graphic content may be shown.

As Germany entered the colony race in Africa, (albeit somewhat reluctantly) they took over lands that were occupied by the Nama and Herero People., and committed a Genocide against them in Eastern and Southwest Africa. This Power Point and film will examine the lead up to that Genocide from 1904-1908, and we will discuss how the genocide against the Jews from 1933-1945 was a follow up to what happened in Africa. Familiar names appear during both periods, so can we say that the genocide perpetrated in Africa was a “training ground” for the future? The power point created by Mr. Holden will precede the YouTube films One or both if time allows) : 1..Namibian Genocide and the Second Reich. 2. Namibia: The Price of Genocide/People and Power.
