This is Lizzie. She’s seven years old. Bloemfontein, South Africa, 1901. Lizzie and her family are herded into a British concentration camp. Because her father refused to surrender, they are branded “undesirables” and given the smallest rations. The camp is a sea of filthy tents, mud, and disease. There is almost no food. Lizzie’s belly swells with hunger. Her skin stretches tight over her bones. She grows weaker every day until she lies motionless on the ground. She dies slowly in her mother’s arms after weeks of deliberate starvation. One of over 22,000 Boer children who perished in the camps. This was official British policy. Bloemfontein, 1901. When British concentration camps deliberately starved thousands of children to death. This was legal. Drop a 🏕️ for Lizzie if this breaks your heart. Which Empire horror next?
