Namibia, The Wall Of Silence – Siegfried Groth

Description

Namibia, the Wall of Silence: The Dark Days of the Liberation Struggle by Siegfried Groth is a powerful and courageous account of a lesser-known chapter in Namibia’s fight for independence. Written by German Reverend Siegfried Groth, who worked closely with Namibian refugees through the Vereinigte Evangelische Mission, the book sheds light on the experiences of SWAPO dissidents and detainees during the liberation struggle. Groth challenges the official narrative, documenting human rights abuses and internal repression within the independence movement itself. This revealing and controversial work remains a significant contribution to Southern African history, offering a voice to those silenced during a turbulent period.
