What memory to keep of the German colonization in Togo? Question that researchers and Matthias Veltin, the German ambassador to Lomé, tried to answer on Friday.
During the round table, an important element was revealed: few Togolese have information on the German presence in the country from 1884 to 1914.
Logical because the population is young and this chapter of the history of colonial Togo is very little approached at school.
For historians, it is important to reconnect with this history for one day, perhaps to seek redress.
