Sued for justice for the last six decades germany has compensated for its historical role in the holocaust stop World War Two paying on is to made it Seventy Billion Dollars to survive is now in namibia the head a little and none the people have been fighting for recognition of the extermination of Baron Systems by the German Government its been termed the first
genocide of the Twentieth Century well tell you about a recent upset they stuffed it into a suit for compensation in a while that was in a court in new york but first this report krista conduce family lives in poverty and she says thats been the case since the war with the germans One Hundred Thirteen years ago although her family does own some land in eastern and maybe its nothing more than a few Sheet Metal Huts in the middle of the Plains Krista says the plot of land is too barren to grow crops. Her real home lies Three Hundred kilometers west of here where she says her family used to own a farm on fertile land until the germans expelled them from it. Christa has a photograph of her grandfather he had lived on the old farmstead back then as a small boy with his mother. Or. A you when the german soldiers attacked our
property my grandfather and his mother fed his mother stuff to death during that escape he was captured and put into a labor camp later he was able to escape and return home but by then our land belonged to a german so my father started to work for him and tended the cars that had been taken away from us. Krista is not alone every year thousands of herero and mama people commemorate what they call the genocide committed by the germans. Imperial german soldiers allegedly poisoned this water source used by the herero since then the locals call it the well of the deadly stomach pain or who are much more in this man says theyve come to speak to their ancestors. Theres another reason why theyre doing it here this is where a german general gave the order to expel the herero from their land and drive them into the Desert Christine has also come like the other women she wears the traditional Headdress Symbolizing cow horns. That the men are wearing
uniforms in the style of the German Imperial soldiers. What they want from germany is an official apology and reparations. I mean i do not believe that we the herero will ever receive any money from germany though that on negotiations taking place with germany those negotiations are not with us directly but with the maybe in government which is dominated by other tribes who will keep the money for themselves. Kenneth mccallion is the lawyer representing a group of hit it all and im a people whose lawsuit against germany was recently dismissed by of course in the us he joins me now from new york welcome to mr mckay and the German Government is dealing directly with the movie and government over this issue and what context are you representing affectional ferrero
a number of people that you know that you are representing well i was retained by the herero and on the other traditional associations as well as on a worldwide Basis Association Of Over Herero Nama in the United States as well as groups in botswana south africa and elsewhere and what i want to what i was trying to establish is why they need to go all evil aid when there is a process happening between the two governments. Well the traditional associations of the herrera nama feel that theyve been excluded from the negotiations the herero and the nama were the. Really the selected and targeted of the genocide in the early Twentieth Century and they have their own organizations they have their own representation right and they feel
that they should have a seat at the table in the negotiations right ok so were talking about a recent blow that was doubt youll cry and said that was that new all court throwing out all dismissing the case why was that. The federal court in a word felt that it was not appropriate jurors stiction for federal courts in the us were of course appealing that and are expecting to have that reversed in the Court Of Appeals but theres really no dispute on the underlying factual issue which is that there is substantial evidence of the genesis. Of the taking of property and in fact that some of the fruits of that genocide for example skulls of her hero and are in various museums including museums here in new york all right the German Government claims that namibia is one of the oil is the
recipient off one of the highest amounts of their aid money ad recently weve heard the job of government talking about further investing in areas in which people and number of people in there is that in itself not a form of compensation. Not really foreign it is it is great im sure its fine for namibia in general but traditionally foreign aid and resources have not gone to the traditional Herero Unama Areas and the herero unama many of them who are driven out of namibia are in botswana south africa the u. S. And elsewhere obviously they would not be receiving any benefit right but also question to you is what are the next what is the next evil avenue you have for your clients. We filed in the Us Second Circuit Court of
appeals and we are briefing that and we hope to get a reversal of that but in addition we have claims and petitions pending in at least two u. N. Committees at this particular point and were pursuing the cause for Restorative Justice in compensation for there are a number were pursuing it really in as many forms as possible but we expect to have the Court Of Appeals reverse it in the u. S. Right ok well be watching that Kenneth Mccallum is the neuer representative grip of head at all at a number of people coming to us from new york thank you thank you very much.
