Ireland 1845-1850 - the Perfect Holocaust (Myth20c - Ep108)

In the middle of the 19th century, Ireland faced a crisis that killed 5.2 million of her people. The most common historical narrative is that the over-dependence on potatoes led to a famine when the crop became blighted by disease. Christopher Fogarty, author of the ‘The Perfect Holocaust’ and many works on this time period, however, joins us today to reveal his work showing how it was British policy to forcibly export, with the aid of nearly half their army, the otherwise plentiful foodstuffs from the nation during this time leading to an intentional genocide.
