Native American populations had been decimated by conquest wars and confined to reservations. Their children were taken away from them and placed in boarding schools where they were punished harshly for speaking their own language. They were taught to hate their own cultures, forcibly converted to Christianity, and given new names. There was no oversight so physical and sexusl abuse were common.

Brutal as all those situations were, the German camps were worse.

But with the current American fascists, it could get as bad as Nazi Germany if we don't stop them before it gets worse. Let Minneapolis be an inspiration for peaceful resistance.
