On 12 May 1883, the German flag was raised on the coast of South-West Africa, modern Namibia - the beginnings of Germany's African Empire. As colonial forces moved in , their ruthless punitive raids became an open war of extermination. Thousands of the indigenous people were killed or driven out into the desert to die. By 1905, the survivors were interned in concentration camps, and systematically starved and worked to death.Years later, the people and ideas that drove the ethnic cleansing of German South West Africa would influence the formation of the Nazi party. The Kaiser's Holocaust uncovers extraordinary links between the two regimes: their ideologies, personnel, even symbols and uniform. The Herero and Nama genocide was deliberately concealed for almost a century. Today, as the graves of the victims are uncovered, its re-emergence challenges the belief that Nazism was an aberration in European history. The Kaiser's Holocaust passionately narrates this harrowing story and explores one of the defining episodes of the twentieth century from a new angle. Moving, powerful and unforgettable, it is a story that needs to be told.

Saksan keisarikunnan lippu nostettiin 12. toukokuuta 1883 Lounais-Afrikan rannikolla nykyisessä Namibiassa. Tästä alkoi saksalainen painajainen Afrikassa. Siirtomaavoimat aloittivat armottomat rangaistushyökkäykset, jotka muuttuivat avoimeksi hävityssodaksi. Tuhansia paikallisiin kansoihin kuuluneita tapettiin tai ajettiin autiomaahan kuolemaan.Vuoteen 1905 mennessä eloonjääneet internoitiin keskitysleireille, joissa heitä näännytettiin järjestelmällisesti nälkään ja annettiin kuolla. Vuosia myöhemmin samat ihmiset ja ideat - jotka johtivat Saksan Lounais-Afrikan etnistä puhdistusta - olivat perustamassa natsipuoluetta.Hererojen ja namojen kansanmurha salattiin tarkoituksella lähes vuosisadan ajan. Nyt kun uhrien hautoja paljastetaan, herää kysymys, oliko natsismi pelkkä poikkeus Euroopan historiassa.Kirja kertoo intohimoisesti järkyttävän tarinan ja tarkastelee yhtä 1900-luvun hirveimmistä tapahtumista uudesta näkökulmasta. Se on tarina, joka on pakko kertoa.David Olusoga on brittiläis-nigerialainen historioitsija, kirjailija ja elokuvantekijä. Hän on Manchesterin yliopiston julkisen historian professori. Casper Wulff Erichsen on Namibiassa pitkään työskennellyt historioitsija.
