Between 1904 and 1908, in Namibia, Bismarck’s Germany of the 2nd Reich planned for the first time the extermination of two peoples: the Nama and the Herero. This African country also experienced concentration camps and racial studies.

This documentary raises the question of the link between the racial policy of colonial Germany in the 1900s and that of Nazi Germany.
