About

The Swakopmund Genocide Museum is a small private museum in Swakopmund, Namibia, dedicated to the memory of the Herero and Nama genocide, committed by German colonial troops against the Herero and Nama between 1904 and 1908. Founded in 2015 by artist and activist Laidlaw Peringanda, the museum is regarded as the only dedicated institution in Namibia addressing this episode of colonial violence.
