Classification
The Germans were lucky because in Africa, the peoples were already separated into their separate tribes. Classification was easy because they were able to identify each individual tribe.
Symbolization
There was no symbolization in this Genocide, but the German party could tell who was who by distinctive features that the Herero people all had and the Area that they lived.
Dehumanization
The Germans took away the Herero's right to own land, they couldn't own cattle, and anyone who was caught with these things would instantly be killed.
Organization
The German party set up concentration camps where the Herero were forced to move. Some would work, mining the valuable resources that Namibia possessed.
Poloarization
When the Herero attacked the Germans, other tribes in the Area began to think like the Herero, however; when the Genocide began, those other tribes began to separate themselves from the Herero as much as possible.
Preparation
Women and Men were split up and went to live in different places. Those who were strong enough were put to work for the Germans in whatever terrible job that they did not want to do themselves.
Extermination
Von Trotha decided that keeping the Herero on this earth would be like keeping and infection, so he decided to kill as many Herero as he possibly could. Von Trotha brought the population from 80,000 to just under 15,000. And those who survived dispersed to other countries or were impregnated with a German child.
Denial
The Germans were actually never accused for this Genocide, in fact, most countries of this time had absolutely no clue that it was occurring and even if they had, many countries were doing similar things to the Native Africans so they could obtain the natural resources and land that the Africans possessed.
