Stemme Uit Die Britse Konsentrasiekampe 

 

"Daar was hakies in die vleis, en “Coopers” poeier in die meel, van vitrioel in die suiker het ek persoonlik ondervinding gehad, ek glo dat niemand wat daar was dit kan betwis nie."

Scripture

“He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap. As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all. In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.”

Ecclesiastes 11:4-6
