Political Science’s Dr. Franziska Boehme recently appeared on Gideon Rachman’s Financial Times podcast “Rachman Review” in a segment titled “Can Germany atone for its colonial-era genocide?” Professor Boehme spoke with Rachman and Esther Muinjangue, the Ovaherero Genocide Foundation’s chair “about the decades-long journey towards official recognition of Germany’s colonial-era atrocities” and the significance of the public apology. They explain the meaning of Germany’s long silence and discuss how the official apology falls short of proper restitution for the victims’ descendants.
