Nice picture but horrific account if true.
Yet the article states:
“My investigations quite clearly show that for decades up until around 1990, children and adolescents were brutally abused in the Ettal monastery,” Thomas Pfister said in a statement.”
As before these claims are 20-40 years old and one must ask why none of these pupils, individually or collectively, or any of their friends or their parents, not one, were ever told about any of this “brutal” abuse and why not one single civil authority was so notified of this? This has got to be the best kept conspiracy in the world.
Shoot the abusers; no matter what their title or who they work for.
We passed it often when we lived in Stuttgart and traveled to Garmisch to ski. The US forces, after the war, took over and refurbished hotels Hitler had built for R and R for the Nazi troops.
English public schools were notorious for harsh punishments and homosexual abuse. It is certainly possible that genuine abuse took place at Ettal.
On the other hand, just because a hack lawyer says so, doesn’t meam much.
When will journalists start actually investigating claims rather than serving as fax machines for slip and fall lawyers?
