I read your “Tribune Editorial: Yes, we do have concentration camps” in the Huffpost.
Thank you.
In a future editorial or article, refer Americans to "The Rise & Fall of the Third Reich" by William L. Shirer or "The Gulag Archipelago" by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. The segregated and suffocating environment of President Trump's camps for children at the border would have been applauded by Hitler or Stalin.
At Auschwitz and other Nazi concentration camps, the children were separated from their parents on arrival, before extermination. Stalin is supposed to have quipped that his concentration camps were much more efficient than Hitler's because his prisoners had to perform hard labor above the Arctic Circle.
Separating children from their parents in concentration conditions in the desert or other isolated areas is going to scar them for life, particularly the younger ones who will end up with serious behavioral disorders.
Your courage is admirable. Keep up the truth telling.
