British Concentration Camps (Boer War)
[Red Cross put Dachau deaths at 18,000, Auschwitz at 53,000 deaths. A report after the war concluded that 27,927 Boers (of whom 24,074, 50% of the Boer child population, were children under 16) had died of starvation, disease and exposure in the concentration camps. In all, about one in four (25%) of the Boer inmates, mostly children, died.]

Quotes
In 1900, Britain invaded the Boer Republics, stole the gold mines, turned the
Western Transvaal into a “smoking desert” (in their own words), imprisoned
110,000 women and children in concentration camps where 28,000 of them died,
then, after the war, they tried and shot 2 Boer officers for “misusing a flag of
truce”! You’re wasting your time looking for justice in any post-war trial. They
are simply a continuation of the war. [Interview]
