The Vietnam War was the longest conflict of the 20th century. It was the first time that the media brought a war into our living rooms. This had consequences: Its images are deeply engraved in our memories: the widespread dropping of napalm bombs, the naked girl fleeing screaming from a cloud of fire. This war came to an end on May 1, 1975.

Germans colonized the land of Namibia, in southern Africa, during a brief period of time, from 1840 to the end of the World War I. The story of the so-called German South West Africa (1884-1915) is hideous; a hidden and silenced account of looting and genocide.
