The Herero and Nama Genocide: Germany's First Holocaust

View show details

Before the Holocaust, Imperial Germany committed the first genocide of the 20th century in its colony of German South West Africa—modern-day Namibia. Between 1904 and 1908, German colonial forces under General Lothar von Trotha waged a war of annihilation against the Herero and Nama peoples. This episode tells the story of the Battle of Waterberg, the brutal Omaheke Desert march, and the concentration camps on Shark Island. We explore the origins of General von Trotha's Vernichtungsbefehl (extermination order), the role of settler colonialism, and the long shadow this genocide casts on German memory. Learn about Samuel Maharero's uprising, Hendrik Witbooi's leadership, and how the Herero and Nama are still fighting for recognition and reparations today. #HereroGenocide #NamaGenocide #VonTrotha #Waterberg #SharkIsland #GermanSouthWestAfrica #Namibia #SamuelMaharero #HendrikWitbooi #Vernichtungsbefehl #ConcentrationCamps #ColonialGenocide #OmahekeDesert #1904 #ImperialGermany #NamibiaHistory #FexingoHistory #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
