"The Concentration Camps in the Transvaal: The Silence" is a notable caricature by French artist Jean Veber, published in the satirical weekly magazine "L'Assiette au Beurre" on September 28, 1901. This work is a poignant political commentary on the British-run concentration camps established during the Second Boer War (1899–1902) in the South African Republic (Transvaal) and the Orange Free State. Veber, known for his critical and often controversial illustrations, uses stark imagery to highlight the suffering and deaths of Boer civilians, particularly women and children, in these camps.

The caricature is a reflection of the international outrage and humanitarian concerns raised by the conditions in the camps, which were reported to have high mortality rates due to disease, malnutrition, and poor sanitation. Veber's work is part of a larger body of anti-war and anti-imperialist art that emerged during this period, serving as a visual protest against the policies of the British Empire and the broader consequences of colonialism.

As an artist, Jean Veber was recognized for his ability to blend artistry with activism, and "The Concentration Camps in the Transvaal: The Silence" stands as a testament to his commitment to social justice. The caricature remains a significant historical artifact, offering insight into the public discourse and the power of visual media to influence opinion and evoke empathy during the early 20th century.
