About this book
Tent visits, prayers and hurried evening notes shape A. D. Luckhoff's account of life in the Bethulie concentration camp during the South African War. He arrived as chaplain in August 1901 and began recording each day's work. The entries describe mothers caring for sick children, repeated funerals, shortages and the strain of trying to reach everyone who needed help. His own fatigue and moments of helplessness give the diary a personal voice.
Alongside these losses are practical efforts to sustain camp life. Luckhoff distributes supplies, organizes circulating libraries and leads worship, recording small acts of kindness as well as distress. He presents the journal as a tribute to the endurance of Dutch women and children. For readers studying the civilian experience of war or religious service in a crisis, these brief daily observations show how care, faith and ordinary tasks continued under severe pressure.
