This video documents the tragedies of the attempted genocide of the Herero and Nama people of Namibia during the Second Reich. Through these historical records, it is my hope that we would acknowledge and accept the collective oppression that all people have endured and the crimes that we have committed against each other, as our sufferings are not to be compared but mourned and forgiven. It is not a matter of who started it but the lamentable fact that it has not ended.
