german colonial era has left deep scars in namibia artifacts from that country are still held in german newseum including the remains of people who had been brutally dehumanised. the remains of people into objects through the boiling of corpses down to bone at the side of the grave of the stuffing of the corpse into a battle of salt in the history of museum collecting indigenous people. are turned into objects through serialization and quest if acacia. in the pain left by this violence is omnipresent in many african cultures people's ancestors live on and that means their remains do as well the getting them back is complicated there are 7000 museums in germany and most of the exhibits from the colonial era have no documentation to even extend human use e.m.c. have the federal government sitting at the table with it's usually museums where the federal states are involved so there isn't one single national museum as there often are in african countries but rather a greater diversity of museums unified while restitution of human remains is moving ahead things are going more slowly with at no logic
