My South Vietnamese friend at work, her mother, brothers and sisters, (all just under ten), were sent to the "re-eduation" camp where her father was murdered by the guards. The family were Catholics and were terribly mistreated and nearly starved for two years. By a miracle, they made it to a camp in Thailand and eventually came to the States. They never could bear to think about what they had been through under the North Viet commie "educators."

My friend hardly spoke English when she started as a clerk at our company. Two years later she had her HS degree and then entered college. In far less time than I took, she graduated with honors, went on to get an MBA and helped her family do especially well. She was promoted several times at work and deserved every one.

Of course, as were others. My point is they were not sent there simply because they were Catholic like many want to believe.
