Legacy of a Forgotten Holocaust• 1904 Casement Report
– 1908, under pressure from Europe and US, Leopold gives up Congo
• 10 million Congolese killed in the brutality
• New race for colonies in Africa between France, Britain, Italy, Portugal, and Spain
• UN commission named the Congo the least developed nation in the world this year– Genocide and mutilation remain
in Africa to this very day
Listen to the yell of Leopold's ghost,
Burning in Hell for his hand-maimed host.
Hear how the demons chuckle and yell
Cutting his hands off, down in Hell
--The Congo, by Vachel Lindsay
