While I'm not qualified to debate Tom Harris' comments regarding
historical records of the Exodus, I do take issue with his
comment that no people could be made slaves against their will.
Exactly that happened to the Jews about 45 years ago in Europe.
Before the death camps and gas chambers came slavery. My in-laws
were both slaves in a concentration camp in Poland - making uniforms
and ammunition respectively.

It's a gradual process. First you're only allowed to live in certain
areas. Then you're only allowed to work in certain areas. Then you're
told to work at a given factory, but paid for it. Then the pay goes
down. Then it stops. And you're a slave. Believe me, it can happen.
