Details
Germany’s history of genocide spans back to the colonial rule of German Southwest Africa. An estimated 6 million Jews and 11 million individuals of other targeted groups (Soviets, Poles, Roma and Sinti, asocials, homosexuals, disabled people, and Jehovah’s Witnesses) were killed in the Holocaust. However, neo-Nazi activity and white supremacy still plague Germany.
