undisputed 1,664 Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 This is a small paragraph from a book I'm reading can anyone guess what it's about? "During the autumn the people who escaped from the compound, began returning to their homeland with frightening accounts of what was happening there. It was a wretched place they said. Soldiers prodded them with bayonets and hearded them like cattle into high walled compounds where the soldiers where always counting them and putting numbers down in little books. The soldiers promised them clothing, blankets and food, but these never arrived. Women and children often disappeared in the night never to be seen again." Quote Link to post Share on other sites

undisputed 1,664 Posted June 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Not even close but the similarities to the concentration camps in Germany is uncanny.....this is what happend to Native Americans when the Europeans took over what we call the USA. Ethnic cleansing and mass genocide a whole culture wiped out for pretty much what adds up to real estate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
