the forgotten Genocide: the Herero and Nama

there's a lot of talk on Genocide these days. Notwithstanding the need to criticize the saddening attitude of the Turkish government towards the dark days of the fading Ottoman Empire (and its influence on Turkish communities abroad in this regard, think about the recent demonstrations in Vienna) and the fate of the Armenians, it should not be forgotten that the first genocide of the 20th century was actually perpetrated by colonial Germany in what is now Namibia.
