Have you seen pictures of survivors when the camps were liberated? Do you know the numbers of casualties from epidemics, malnutrition, flu, infections?
Ocasio-Cortez kills two birds with one stone. She drastically minimizes the unspeakable horrors of concentration camps and at the same time, facilitates the public looking away from
the actual cruelty in the Trumps immigration policy, and the prevalence of sub standard conditions in the detention centers because opponents dont address the real issues but compare them to facilities used to carry out the persecution and the elimination of an entire people, Jews, as well as state dissenters, homosexuals, undesirables.
The purpose of concentration camps was not to detain before deportation. They were not to deter
people from coming to a particular country. They were genocidal killing centers, some primarily to
force people to labor to death, and then replace them, many used for mass slaughter, and to hide that. Also people were tortured and used in horrific medical experiments, designed often simply out of curiosity.
Peoples skin and the gold in their teeth were used after death.
All AOC needs to do is to educate herself. She is out of step with history.
