Precisely concentration camps for children. :(

  I wouldn't say precisely concentration camps for children - at least not late-war concentration camps that were focused precisely on eliminating the population. I'm not saying residential schools were good in anyway - I just don't want to minimize just how bad the nazis were... Residential schools were pretty close to the US internment camps of Japanese citizens though.

    Okay folks, I've got to put a trigger warning here. This next paragraph is absolutely brutal - it's physical, sexual abuse and infanticide. :( This may be a time when we need a new word. Residential school doesn't quite capture the horror, the unbelievable level of physical and sexual abuse or the endless stories from residential schools across Canada of babies conceived in sexual assault being taken from their mothers and thrown into furnaces. I'd really recommend reading some of the testimony from the survivors. These places were a special form of evil.

    You are conflating "concentration camp" with "extermination/death camp". The modern "concentration camps" were invented by the British during the Boer war.
