Summary "Woman's Endurance" by A. D. Luckhoff is a poignant historical account written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around the experiences of women and children in the Bethulie Concentration Camp during the South African War, focusing on their resilience amid suffering. The book's primary perspective is provided by Luckhoff himself, who serves as a chaplain, offering support and documenting the harrowing realities faced by those in the camp. The opening of "Woman's Endurance" introduces us to the dire conditions within the concentration camp, where Luckhoff begins to keep a diary chronicling his observations and experiences. He arrives to find a camp filled with illness, death, and despair, as many women and children suffer from various diseases, particularly measles and pneumonia. Throughout the initial entries, he details his daily rounds to comfort the sick, facilitate burials, and provide spiritual solace amid overwhelming sorrow. The diary entries convey the heartbreaking stories of loss and the struggle for survival, illustrating the profound emotional toll on individuals as they endure the relentless hardships of life in the camp.
