Before The Holocaust. 😥🇳🇦 The first genocide of the twentieth century was not the Holocaust. Same country. Same methods. African soil. Forty years earlier. The #Herero and #Nama people of what is now #Namibia lived on their land for centuries — cattle farmers with their own kingdoms and trade. Then Germany arrived. Stole the land. Stole the cattle. When the Herero rose against them in 1904 under Chief #SamuelMaharero — Germany sent General von #Trotha.
