Rights & Wrongs: Germany’s Refusal to Reckon with its Colonial Crimes | Human Right Watch



You will have heard about the Holocaust during the Second World War. The murder of millions of Jews across German-occupied Europe.

What you may NOT know is that this wasn’t the first time a German government committed mass atrocities against a whole people.

To find out WHY – and WHAT the descendants of the survivors WANT to redress the loss and trauma that affect the communities to this day we’re joined by Sima Luipert, a fourth generation survivor of the atrocities German colonial troops committed against her people and Namibian lawyer Patrick Kauta. Patrick represents the two affected communities in this groundbreaking court case.
