This is still one of the enduring images that comes to mind: https://rarehistoricalphotos.com/father-hand-belgian-congo-1904/ https://rarehistoricalphotos.com/f

  Wow. The text that accompanies the image is so much worse than the image. I had never heard of the state-sanctioned Belgian cut-off hand trade, and state-sanctioned child cannibalism and beheadings really takes it to another level. It makes modern terrorism seem mild in comparison. This is the sort of thing that should be taught in history classes.

  I think I might have seen that picture before. I have no plan to see it again.
