Forty years before the war of annihilation in eastern Europe and the Holocaust, German colonial troops in German South West Africa perpetrated the first genocide of the twentieth century. From Windhoek to Auschwitz? interrogates the relationship between colonialism and National Socialism, using genocide, the 'racial state', and systems of forced labour as points of departure for comparative observation. The book is an indispensable document in the intensive debate among German and international scholars about the postcolonial expansion of German history, and it offers a fresh look at the history of colonialism and also the 'Third Reich'.

German colonial history in today Tanzania Mainlad is extensively documented, but it has not been studied from its memory perspective despite it being widely remembered among the Tanzanians. This book documents German colonial memories as shared cultural legacy that exists in forms of monuments, archives and historical sites. It also presents them as trans-generational memory narratives that live in people’s memories that are also commemorated in different ways like erection of war monuments. The book analyzes memories of colonialism from the historical perspective, showing how the collective memories like monuments and commemorations have undergone structural and institutional changes over time. The study uses Michael Rothberg’s multi-directional theory, together with other theoretical approaches to analyze various forms of German colonial memories in Tanzanian context. The findings, which are analyzed historically, indicate that the collective memories of the Germans are cultural, communicative, commemorative, functional and topographical. They are also traumatic as well as nostalgic.

Displacing and Displaying the Objects of Others is a thought-provoking collection that brings together a diverse range of contributions inspired by research from the "Hamburg’s (post-)colonial legacy" research center. The authors explore new perspectives in provenance research by situating it within the broader contexts of global history, colonial history, and postcolonial studies. This volume goes beyond simply tracing the origins of objects, considering the significant impact on the societies from which these objects originate. It also critically examines how these objects were used in collections and museums and how the process of musealization shaped collecting practices. With its multiperspective approach, Displacing and Displaying the Objects of Others encourages readers to reflect on the deep connections between past and present and to consider responsible ways of engaging with colonial collections.

Germany’s Gateway to Empire
(Post-)Colonial Memory and Global Entanglements in Hamburg

This volume examines how Hamburg, Germany’s foremost port, became a central hub of colonial globalisation and how these entanglements continue to shape the city. It traces (post-)colonial memory across a wide spectrum of sites: imaginaries such as the figure of the “Hanseat”, economic and political institutions including the port itself and the Chamber of Commerce, major companies like the Woermann Group, scholarly and cultural venues such as the ethnological museum “Museum für Völkerkunde”, Hagenbeck’s zoo with its “Völkerschauen”, and monuments including the Bismarck statue. By analysing these sites of colonial history, (post-)colonial memory, and contestation the book demonstrates what colonialism meant for Hamburg - and how Hamburg shaped colonialism - offering a comprehensive account of the city’s place within the history and legacies of (post-)colonial globalisation.
