The Kaiser's Holocaust - Germany's Forgotten Genocide And The Colonial Roots Of Nazism - Thryft

Colonial roots of Nazism exposed.

"The Kaiser's Holocaust is a powerful, well-researched book that sheds light on the role of Germany's colonial past in laying the foundation for the Holocaust. It is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the historical and ideological origins of Nazism and the atrocities that followed. Its most distinctive feature is its use of new archival evidence to paint a vivid picture of the genocide that was deliberately concealed for a century. The book is recommended for history buffs, researchers, and anyone interested in exploring the dark side of colonialism and its lasting impact on the world."

Description

On 12 May 1883, the German flag was raised on the coast of South-West Africa, modern Namibia a the beginnings of Germany's African Empire. As colonial forces moved in, their ruthless punitive raids became an open war of extermination. Thousands of the indigenous people were killed or driven out into the desert to die. By 1905, the survivors were interned in concentration camps, and systematically starved and worked to death.Years later, the people and ideas that drove the ethnic cleansing of German South West Africa would influence the formation of the Nazi party. The Kaiser's Holocaust uncovers extraordinary links between the two regimes: their ideologies, personnel, even symbols and uniform. The Herero and Nama genocide was deliberately concealed for almost a century. Today, as the graves of the victims are uncovered, its re-emergence challenges the belief that Nazism was an aberration in European history. The Kaiser's Holocaust passionately narrates this harrowing story and explores one of the defining episodes of the twentieth century from a new angle. Moving, powerful and unforgettable, it is a story that needs to be told.
