On muddled tale

I refer to Y. Santo's letter A muddled tale in The Jakarta Post on March 29, 2000. Please check your history. It's such a shame when an error of fact casts doubt upon the veracity of the whole letter.

Much as I hate to vindicate the Dutch, the Boers found themselves on the inside of those "Boer concentration camps" which were created by the British.
