Two of this farmer's workers had already died from his beatings. The missionary holding the camera knew that. He'd reported the farmer to the police, and he was photographing these wounds for court.

Ludwig Cramer was a failed coffee merchant from Hamburg. He moved to German South West Africa in 1906 and bought a farm. He tied workers up for days, whipped a pregnant Herero woman until she miscarried, and beat workers bloody. His wife Ada helped by cutting the clothes off female victims so he could strike harder. Two of his workers died.

In August 1912 a German colonial court sentenced him to 20 months in prison. On appeal the next year, the sentence was cut to 4 months and a 2,700 Mark fine. It was one of the only times any German settler was punished for any of this. And the worst was already over.

Between 1904 and 1908, German forces had killed an estimated 65,000 to 80,000 Herero, about 80% of the Herero population, and 10,000 Nama, around half of theirs. Historians now call it the first genocide of the 20th century. It started when Chief Samuel Maharero led a rebellion against the seizure of Herero land. General Lothar von Trotha's October 1904 extermination order declared every Herero in the territory was to be killed.

Survivors were driven into the desert to die of thirst, or shipped to concentration camps. Shark Island killed between half and three-quarters of its prisoners. Women there were forced to boil the heads of dead inmates and scrape them clean with shards of glass. The skulls were sent to German universities, where researchers tried to prove white Europeans were biologically superior to Africans.

One of those researchers was a scientist named Eugen Fischer. In 1923, while Hitler was in prison, he read Fischer's textbook on race hygiene. He cited Fischer in Mein Kampf. Fischer's work later helped shape the 1935 Nuremberg Laws, the Nazi race laws that stripped Jews of their rights. When Hitler took power, he made Fischer head of the University of Berlin. The institute Fischer ran trained the next generation of Nazi race scientists, including Josef Mengele's PhD supervisor. Mengele went to Auschwitz, where he experimented on prisoners and sent body parts back to the same institute.

Germany formally apologized in 2021 and offered Namibia €1.1 billion (about $1.3 billion) over 30 years in development aid. But the agreement avoided the words "reparations" and "compensation". Those words could be used against Germany in future lawsuits. Most Herero and Nama leaders walked away from the deal because they were shut out of the talks. Many of the skulls are still sitting in German universities and museums.

Cramer himself died in 1917 in a blasting accident on his farm. His wife Ada wrote a book defending him, arguing that Africans needed to be beaten for their own good. Historians now read it as an early blueprint for the "master race" thinking. That thinking would become Nazism.

baba’s video is resurfacing and I just want to say that Omar Sharon and the rest of the UAE- backed RSF criminals were not held accountable for the death of my father & the countless other civilians that were detained.
