Abstract
Berlin still has a monument commemorating German soldiers who died as “heroes” during the Namibian campaign, which resulted in the genocide of the Herero and Nama about 120 years ago. This tombstone shows how dominant and resistant to change Germany’s narrative is about its colonial past, according to scholar Anne van Mourik, who reflects on the controversial monument located in the German capital’s Columbiadamm garrison cemetery that may be soon removed.
