  @mondoweiss@social.mondoweiss.net Great article! I actually learned about Nakba at school. However not in history¹ or where it belongs, but in English. Our English teacher brought us newspaper articles in English as teaching material, and back then, the first Intifada was in the news. As we needed to understand the background to understand what the Intifada is about, more material was needed than just news articles from 1988. About the Holocaust of the slavic people: I learned about that through the exhibition „Vernichtungskrieg. Verbrechen der Wehrmacht 1941 bis 1944“ from Jan Phillip Reemtsma. The heated discussion about it and the suspension of the exhibition, because a few of hundreds of photos were mislabeled, made absolutely clear that Germany didn't want to learn and acknowledge on their own. They were forced to acknowledge and condemn only the Holocaust on the Jews, because, as Adenauer put it: the Jews were powerful. I learned about Herero and Nama through a cousin of my mother, who's husband's son acted as the narrator character in the movie “Morenga”, and they strongly recommended us to watch it, because it wasn't the usual Tatort/Der Alte bullshit they were usually involved with. So we did. BTW: just added Morenga to his filmography on Wikipedia, because somehow the only work worth mentioning didn't get in there. ¹) as history is mostly limited on German history, no surprise. Whatever else there happened in the world wasn't taught.
