    I just watched "Nazi Concentration Camps" on Netflix. It is a solid hour of actual military footage of what the Allies found when they liberated the concentration camps in Germany. Don't watch it right after you eat. Couldn't help but be reminded of AOC comparing our border facilities to "concentration camps." That little girl needs to be forced to watch this documentary before she says another word!

    The Allies found death camps (although they knew they existed and didn't do anything about it). Concentration camps were invented by the likes of Winston Churchill. Perhaps you need to think more before you post?

    I think you need to think a bit more before you post. Auschwitz was referred to as a concentration camp as was Dauchau, etc.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auschwitz_concentration_camp.

    I never heard of any of them referred to as a death camp even though that description fits also. I remember a lot of those horrible pictures in Look and Life magazines. The dead and dying skin and bones were piled up like cord wood.

    It is the common name and the name which most people recognize those camps. When I hear Nazi Concentration camps, that is the image I see.

    Concentration camps were invented by the Spanish in Cuban Civil War.

    They were terrible.

    The Nazis perverted the term and made them unbelievable in cruelty and terror.

    Nonsense. Concentration camps were always cruel and terrible; ask the South African experience of Britain's rule. The nazis industrialised murder and I'm sickened that this thread ignores that truth.

    Who cares?

    Did you read the article?

    You brought her and the subject into this.

    You're calling her a "little girl"?

    Jeez.

    You are doing EXACTLY what you are accusing her of.

    Using the Nazi Death Camps for some stupid political purpose.

    Who said anything about racist?

    You are acting like a child.

    Some more history for you little girl.

    The internment of Japanese Americans in the United States during World War IIwas the forced relocation and incarceration in concentration camps in the western interior of the country of between 110,000 and 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry, most of whom lived on the Pacific coast.

    So you'd have us believe the redoubtable Ms. Cortez was likening the holding facilities at the Mexican border to the concentration camps run by the Brits, rathr than those run by the Nazis. Have I got that right?
    While I'm not much inclined to report them, I encourage you to keep such contributions coming, as others presumably will report them. 8)

    Nonsense, Reiver, you have a very narrow, twisted view.

    You wont change it, so I will leave it at that.

    Your response is enough for me to acknowledge your natural territory amongst the fascists. Shame you needed to belittle mass murder mind you.

    Your response is enough for me to understand that you don't get definitions and history.

    Your last sentence makes little sense, Reiver.

    Who is insulting?



    Stop splitting hairs. The op's point was the difference between our overloaded border facilities and Germany rounding up and killing tens of thousands of jews.

    No one here has belittled the horror of those Nazi camps.. Call them whatever you prefer. We all know what they were and what they did. Although I doubt any of us can fully comprehend the horror.

    My, my, Reiver. The rest of you may be interested in the fact that concentration camps were started by the Spanish in Cuba. Not very nice places. Naturally, along with Spanish atrocities, bad water and disease ravished the camp populations.

    In 1896, General Weyler of Spain implemented the first wave of the Spanish "Reconcentracion Policy" that sent thousands of Cubans into concentration camps. Under Weyler's policy, the rural population had eight days to move into designated camps located in fortified towns; any person who failed to obey was shot.
    National Affiliation: Spain

    The Allies had to first cross the English Channel, then fight and take every square hectare on the way to defeating Hitler before they could enter the concentration camps and free those still alive.
