Women's Monument to (25,000!) Anglo-Boer War Concentration Camp Victims (Bloemfontein, South Africa)
(Bloemfontein, Free State, South Africa)
The first concentration camps were in ~1900 and almost exclusively White-on-White. Did you know that? Neither did I.
In Bloemfontein South Africa, just 20-30 years after their defeat/surrender in the Anglo-Boer War, the (mostly Dutch-derived, the first boat-full of them having arrived in 1652, ~250 years prior!) Afrikaner Boer (meaning farmer) people still living there set up this Women's Monument to remember the (mostly) women and kids who died of starvation, thirst and/or sickness in British-run concentration camps. (I s$%t you not!)
See the Boer fighters were organized into essentially-guerrilla commando militias. And they kept kicking the butts of the British who out-numbered and out-resourced them 10-to-1.
But while they were away out butt-kicking someplace, the wives were back on the farms taking care of things. So the British said screw this, and just burned/dynamited the farms, killed the livestock, and took the wives and kids hostage in these concentration camps.
This unplugged the Boer fighters provisions-wise, but that wasn't really the whole plan.
Taking the wives and kids hostage in this way, and passive-aggressively allowing them to die-off in bureaucratic fashion (Oh dang, we ran out of food for the prisoners again. --sound familiar?) not just humiliated the men emotionally and spiritually (worse than unbelievers, right?), but of course gave them dang good reasons to give up and surrender, and quickly, which they did.
You might just have to agree that genocide worked. But try not to think about it.
No wait. I mean: YES PLEASE DO try to think about it!
(And what if they'd thought of this when fighting General Washington and his people in the Revolutionary War, hmm?)

Humphrey the hippo
Go! magazine reader Marius Els sent us this video clip starring Humphrey the hippo. The three-year-old hippo was orphaned near Hazyview before being rescued and taken to the Rhino and Lion Park. When Humphrey outgrew his pool at the Lion Park, Marius bought him in February 2008 and released him on his farm near Viljoenskroon. He adores kids, Marius says, adding that the fat boy also loves playing hide and seek
