Germany’s Forgotten Genocide: A film screening and discussion of Kavena Hambira’s ‘Nuh-Mi-Bee-Uhn’

The St. Louis Kaplan Feldman Holocaust Museum will present the film Nuh-Mi Bee-Uhn, directed by Kavena Hambira. The film “focuses on the twentieth century’s first genocide—the Herero and Nama Genocide, carried out by Germany in 1905 in his family’s native Namibia. Hambira bridges geography and time to describe the indelible and far-reaching impacts of the genocide and the ongoing struggle for reparations and reconciliation.” The film will be accompanied by a discussion with Hambira and his colleague, Miriam Gleckman-Krut, both of whom are artist-scholars-in residence at the Memory for the Future Studiolab at Washington University. The discussion will examine the linkages between the history and memory of this and other genocides and the Holocaust. Registration required; see website.
