They return to haunt liberal post-war Germany, and in doing so they force Germany to wake-up to a very uncomfortable fact that the dark racial theories that helped inspire the Nazis run much deeper into German and European history than most people want to acknowledge.&#8221; The powerful documentary by David Olusoga (BBC) is the story of Germany&#8217;s forgotten genocide.
