[QUOTE="Sheikh Yerbouti, post: 788725, member: 9093"] Spot on Shooms. Here's another source for ya... [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Anglo-Boer_War#Concentration_camps_.281900_-_1902.29]Second Boer War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/url] If concentration camps are the issue here then we can blame one of our own. A certain Horatio Kitchener. It was his "scorched earth" policy during the second Boer war that led to them being used not as places to hold refugees, but instead for rounding up & holding whole communities en-masse. In and of themselves, concentration camps aren't a bad thing. They were originally intended as a place to keep prisoners of war away from fighting & stop innocent people getting killed. The problem (as is so often the case) is they were never resourced or run properly & couldn't possibly cope with the numbers. The stories about the Boer war & the numbers who died in concentration camps there (and how they died) are truly shocking. At least the original idea behind them was a good one. Kitchener twisted the idea to suit his own purposes, but that pales into insignificance compared to what Hitler & his buddies did, the deliberate starvation, "research" and medical experiments, & basically using them as holding pens for mechanised mass murder & genocide, is not what concentration camps were intended for. The idea behind them is a good one fundamentally. Before them prisoners of war were often just killed after battles. [/QUOTE]
