“Bartolomé de las Casas had invented actuary science in the early 16th century by studying what happened when you forced people to move from one environment to another—they died. Which was apparently the intended result in the Yaqui’s case. Like Hitler’s victims, the Yaquis were forced into overloaded cattle cars, transported across the country (with many dying along the way) and forced to work until they died. As with the Nazi camps, the Yaquis were housed in overcrowded barracks, underfed and worked until they dropped dead. In a final comparison with the Nazis, the bodies were then cremated.”
