The Belgians killed 60 million people in the Belgian Congo?

Never heard of that holocaust before. Any documentation?

His orignal link to the detail has gone stale, but you can see it using the Wayback Machine.

No documentation but this is from a recent documentary about the Congo. In particular the program focused on a library that used to be funded by the Belgian government and, for fifty years now, the staff has continued to work at the library without pay in hopes that the Belgians will one day return.

The man who was narrating made the case for the deaths of sixty million people during the Belgian reign and noted how some towns and cities that were once prominent are not all but forgotten due to the mass murders.

One former city had a large railroad station that was abandoned and left to rot. It looked like the French railroad station I saw in the movie ‘Hugo’. I mention this so maybe the bit of information can help you find the same documentary.

I’m not much for documentaries but this one was compelling and fascinating in that it told so much about things I had never heard about. It’s amazing that so little is known in the West about such a large country.
