A German doctor is in custody after allegedly admitting she tortured a number of children at Colonia Dignidad, a secretive religious colony in Chile.
Gisela Seewald, 75, is said to have told a judge that she gave them electroshock treatment and sedatives.
She was ordered to do so by the group's ex-leader, Paul Schaefer, who said they were possessed, she reportedly said.
Mr Schaefer is in jail charged with child abuse and aiding secret police during the 1973-1990 military regime.
A former Nazi and Baptist preacher, he established the 13,000-hectare (32,000-acre) colony in southern Chile in 1961, after fleeing Germany to escape child abuse charges.
> Simply another remainder of German Nazi mentality...still left over from 1945. And in this case...they were willing to torture children.
Thank God the Allies won WW-II. The alternative is too dreadful to contemplate. All the more reason, when you see one of those aging heroes of '36-'45, to remember to say "thanks". One day, soon, that opportuity will be gone forever.
(Yeah, I know that for America the war started in 1941. I'm picking the start of the Spanish Civil War as the first time Nazis and Fascists started to throw their weight around).

That is code for a cult. The Nazi were big into the occult. The Colonia Dignidad was believed to be a occult complex that had alot of former Nazi that played around with black magic and stuff.
