Celeste Reynolds’s long-standing research into the number of deaths in concentration camps has revealed that earlier figures of 27,000 were an underestimate by approximately 7,000 deaths. For nearly a century, it was believed that 27,000 people had died in these camps during the Anglo-Boer War of 1899 to 1902. Celeste has always had a keen interest in history; during her tenure as a heritage coordinator at the FAK, it became apparent that no national list of deaths existed anywhere. In 1999, they began compiling this national list of names. Reynolds notes that the research was significantly complicated by the fact that deaths in the camps were not properly recorded from the outset of the war. Furthermore, they had to consult more than five different sources—including those from the three sister churches—to compile an accurate list. The 34,000 names also include the approximately 1,000 Coloured and Black people who died in concentration camps, as well as the deaths of people en route to the camps or who died while fleeing.
