If you think we learned the very obvious lesson here of ‘concentration camps are bad’ you are mistaken. In one harrowing example, the British government held over 50,000 Jewish people, most of whom were Holocaust survivors, in internment camps in Cyprus shortly after the Holocaust. After around 400 people died in those camps we learned our lesson though. I kid, we went on to use them one more time during the Mau Mau uprising in Kenya in the 1950s, leading to well over 100,000 deaths.
