“I had intended to come to the floor today and discuss Rwanda and the genocidal slaughter taking place in that tortured country. Genocide is a word that is overused, but in the case of Rwanda it fits. In fact, both sides in this horrible tribal war are attempting it. It is a tragedy. Last night, speaking live to an audience in Pennsylvania, it occurred to me that of the six Nazi extermination camps, not labor camps, not concentration camps, like Dachau, Borgen-Belsen, Ravensbruck, Buchenwald, but camps built to exterminate human beings, to eliminate the entire Jewish population of every country in Western and Middle Europe, that of those six extermination camps, only Treblinka, killing 750,000 people, and the horror of Auschwitz and its huge satellite camp of Birkenau, which killed a million and a half or more people, only those two camps out of six, killed more than 500,000 people. It all took 2 or 3 years in gas chambers and a perversion of science and technology to do it. But in Rwanda, even more people have been killed in 3 weeks, most of them with machetes, than at Chelmo, Belzec, Mydanyck, or Sobibor. This is an unbelievable slaughter, and I will talk about it next week for an hour.”
