Stemme uit die vrouekampe: Gedurende die Tweede Vryheids Oorlog tussen Boer en Brit van 1899 tot 1902

During the Second Boer War (1899–1902), the British operated concentration camps in South Africa, which had originally been set up by the British Army as refugee camps for civilian families who had been forced to abandon their homes for any reason which was related to the war. As Boer farms were destroyed under the scorched earth policy of the British to prevent the Boers from resupplying themselves from a home base, many tens of thousands of men, women and children were forcibly moved into the camps. Eventually, there were a total of 45 tented camps which were built for Boer internees and 64 additional camps which were built for black Africans. Over 26,000 women and children perished in these concentration camps. This Boer publication from the 1920s presents the stories of some of these Boer women.
