Everyone “knows” the Congo story in a few lines:
A greedy king turns an African territory into his personal fiefdom, forces rubber quotas at gunpoint, chops off hands for non-compliance, and kills ten million people in a hidden holocaust. It is simple, morally clear, and immediately intelligible, and any further questions are closed off by labeling it a ‘hidden holocaust’.
