A Crucified Childhood
The demons of the past have come back to haunt Switzerland's Catholic Church. Up to 1981, over 100,000 children were forcibly placed with families or in institutions on the pretext that their parents were too poor or not virtuous enough. Thousands were sent to the Marini Institute, a living hellin the canton of Fribourg, where many were beaten or raped; some were reportedly treated so brutally that they died. For years, nothing was said about the martyrdom inflicted on these children. This report tells their stories, revealing the often unspeakable reality they endured.English version available
