- How did a secret German sect in Chile become a haven for Nazi fugitives and a torture centre for the Pinochet regime?
Forty years after the US-backed military coup that brought General Augusto Pinochet to power in Chile, the truth about the sordid abuses and crimes that took place during his dictatorship are still emerging.
The mountains of Patagonia in southern Chile witnessed a particularly bizarre chapter of the Pinochet era; one that is still claiming victims today.
In 1961, a former Nazi corporal called Paul Schaefer fled Germany, along with hundreds of others, to found a sect in southern Chile. In an idyllic rural enclave framed by the Andes Mountains he created a virtual state within a state - one where horrifying events unfolded.
Initially with the ignorance of the government, and then with the complicity of the Pinochet regime, children were separated from their parents at birth and raised in a Kinder House. Men and women were kept apart and often drugged, while Schaefer systematically sexually abused boys and, occasionally, girls.
It also served as a haven for Nazi fugitives - such as Walter Rauff, the inventor of the portable gas chamber, and Joseph Mengele, the so-called 'Angel of Death' - who were permitted to hide out there in exchange for overseeing sophisticated forms of torture.
All of this took place with the full knowledge of the Pinochet regime, whose notorious intelligence chief, General Manuel Contreras, would often visit the site.
In The Colony: Chile's dark past uncovered, the truth about what took place inside the Colony is revealed through the story of Winfried Hempel. Now 35, Hempel was born into the Colony and raised there without any knowledge of who his parents were. When he first left its grounds, he was 20 years old, spoke no Spanish, had no notion of the country in which he lived and had never seen a television, computer or mobile phone.
Although he initially struggled to adapt to the world beyond Colonia Dignidad, he gradually learned to speak Spanish, received his high school certificate and eventually qualified as a lawyer.
Al Jazeera's Lucia Newman has followed the story of the Colonia Dignidad since 1996 - at one point even being turned away from the site at gunpoint. As a Chilean, she wants to expose the crimes that took place there - crimes that her country was not only complicit in, but an active participant to.

The fact that the German Embassy in Chile gave Schaefer diplomatic status proves that it was complicit in his crimes against humanity.
Which is why both the individuals directly involved as well the entire German government as a whole should be investigated and held accountable for what happened, the German government in particular for directly supporting active Nazis and their criminal enterprises.
Governments usually are
And still are with all that's happening today. Many governments are for many Nazis left Germany and continued these sick practices within governments and universities and in the hills like this. NASA and CIA in USA is one of them that still have power over all of us today
6 Million Nazis and only a handful actually held "accountable" the rest still live within governments today
@@kdjfjshwbwj8206 America and Canadian governments accepted them as well in exchange for scientist, technology, info, on other nations, bribes, ect
Appalling that the Colony is being turned into a tourist attraction. It should be a museum to remind humanity of the atrocities that we are capable of. Justice needs to be had.
Not only appalling but also sick, perverse and twisted. Those responsible should hang their haeds in shame and think about what they are doing.
a museum is built - the mission of the Colony is educational - i've not been yet but will do so this year or next.
bulldoze to the ground I say
It’s still a thriving community. Totally weird, it’s like German land at Disney in the middle of the Amazon. They wear traditional dress, eat, traditional foods, speak German. It’s like falling through a wormhole and landing in Germany 1930
Mark James, What is destroyed is easier to ignore and deny.
It's crazy how much evil is hidden in the world.
You dont know half of it. Look up the south end of brazil.
It's only hidden because it's ignored.
Yes agreed , some dictators , leaders , etc are OUSTED , but it's usually for financial reasons , let's hope this type of thing is dying out.

@@riverice7 ...you are correct. Why couldn't the parents have secretly communicated, then held a rebellion?
How many people (adults) in total were in this community?
@Grace Munich You raise very valid points. These small communities that isolate themselves from the general community are very strange, to say the least! Makes one suspicious that they choose to do so because they are hiding someone or something

Broke my heart when the gentleman talked about not being able to sleep at night because he did not know his mother or father. Way too many stories like this throughout history. Heart-wrenching.
Yeah me too. I don't know him but he is seems like a really kind person. Made me cry.
Same.
Same here...tears welled up in my eyes.....
That happened in England too. Orphans in workhouses.

It’s incredible that at the age of 20 not knowing even how an automatic door works and being abused his whole life , he has turned into such a fantastic, articulate, incredibly caring and humane person , it just proves that good can survive in even the most insane environment of evil, we should never give up the fight to end these atrocities

I love Al Jazeera because you hear about stories that the mainstream media shy away from. Important stories from people who need to be heard. Excellent documentary but harrowing story.
I argue with my hindu friends and also tell them positive side of this channel.
They don't shy away, they boldly ignore and deny truth and reality.
Indeed, it seems to be the first report investigation about it.
There is a film, Colonia, made in 2015; a documentary made by DW in 2016; a Chilean-German miniseries, Dignity, made in 2019; and a miniseries documentary made by Netflix, A Sinister Sect Colonia Dignidad, in 2021 (this one is kind of bad made)
@@Malik-Ibi doesn't this remind you of the Epstein and mosad connection, and subsequent cover up. Is this where this pedophilic desgusting perversions emerged from? It's funny mosad had rather strange connections to both. Weird...
Go back to Germany
He is such a brave man to continue to fight to have the governments of Chile and Germany pay for what they allowed to happen to children.
@A Pacifist Machine Gunner That's not true...
I am chilean, and I feel very sorry for this evil situation that happened in my country.
I feel embarrassed about my liders, seeing Ricardo Lagos saying it has happened a long time ago!!!!! WTF!!!!
That was happening in our country!!!!!! What a shame .
Thank god I found out about this useless country never going to step even in Chile
And Pinochet legacy of horror... However, Chileans are the synonym of resilience and excellence, you have come so far. Blessings to your country.
As I understand, the current Chilean rulers still owe much to Pinochet and his awful dictatorship. And still have ties with many of the former army brutes who abducted, tortured and killed their own citizens. Sad to say but I am afraid that your country is still very corrupt. It will take at least a generation or even two generations before Chili can really come to terms with its past, if ever. Just look at Spain and the legacy of Franco. It is very similar to your recent history. In Spain as well, there are many people owing their wealth and privileges to, basically, an absolute scumbag. Of course, they will oppose any serious investigation into the shady and dark past of their own country. They have all the reasons to do everything to hide the truth.

Anyone hear about this from joe rogan?
yep , thats where i just heard about it n had to come look it up
Yep lmaoooo
Frank Joseph and Joe brought me here
Yes 5 minutes ago
yes. joe rogan as educator :)
It was so nice to see and hear Lucia Newman reporting. I love her tough, sensible, well spoken way. I hope all victims continue to recover respectfully.
People forget Joseph mengele died of old age (stroke) while swimming off a beach in Brazil under the alias Wolfgang Bernard
It's reprehensible that this monster lived a full life, when he took the lives of so many others.
So you think Karma or God exist?
@@jayluis189 No
That’s gotta be rough on your mental
The German company, Mengele, should've been dissolved and sold. All assets given to victims of Mengele.
I first learned the name Paul Schäfer at the age of eight, when my family moved to a new place in Germany. There he had done a lot of damage to the christian community, but nothing in comparison with what he did in Chile. This is the best report on Colonia Dignidad that I've ever seen! Thank you so much, Lucia Newman and Al Jazeera! Great work!
As far as I've read Shafer was a stretcher-bearer during WW II, not a nuse or a medic, as they say here or in other places.
That poor man when he crys it killed me 😢
🙏🏻
He needs a mother
Me too... 😞💔
It broke my heart, it was tough to watch.
Me too.
I was in Chile in late 90’s with a Rotary exchange of young professionals- one of our sponsor couples spoke fluent English ( most did not) and gave us a shocking accounting of how untouchable this place was. The horrible hidden secret in plain site. “Your life goes much easier if you ignore what is happening, while your heart is breaking”.
Sometimes the truth is obvious but our minds beliefs blind us. Beliefs can be manipulated to blind us.
lol wtf Pinochet left office in 1990, maybe she was remembering the dictatorship times because that sounds super weird
I see you edited your comment, it makes sense now
WHAT A SICKENING, NAUSEOUS,DISCUSSTING STORY .THANK GOODNESS, THE YOUNG VICTIM IS A LAWYER. JUSTICE ⚖ FOR THE CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY AND INNOCENCE..HAS TO HAPPEN. GOD BLESS HIM.🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤✌✌✌
Rare, cause I am Chilean and I can say we didn't know even remotely what was happening there. For us they were German population that wanted to live close to their costumes.
These survivors are so strong, so brave Thank you for telling your story. I pray God heals every memory, every painful one & uses your story to heal other victims!
Amen
Truth will always prevail, whatever is hidden will be revealed. God bless you for telling this story.
Truly shocking. I praise Al Jazeera for this very important documentary and for the survivors and journalist for bringing the story to the masses. I hope that the court case is successful and the survivors finally get the justice they deserve. Any nations and their citizens that do not want to acknowledge the dark parts of their past will be doomed to repeat them again and again.
Hammacher Schlemmer chile would've been better under Allende if America didn't sabotage his regime
This is true, I am from South America and makes me shameful, in the colony of Dignidad and in 20th century committed those crimes against children, and got full support from government in change to get benefit. I hope soon those victims have justice.
It was tim Kennedy and his team, not al jazeera
Mo “shocking”
Great comment.But as you know in this kind of cases,there is no justice, unfortunately.
lets be honest and call it for what it was. not a colony but a cult!!
A paedophile cult.
So it's safe to say the LARGEST CULT is *CHRISTIANITY* .......

@@kwamebushman606 tell us what we can do to know earlier ?
@@kwamebushman606 oh? What have you done to help then?
Why do people trust preachers? Seriously.
Well they are dumb enough to trust the government with their kids... so go figure.
JESUITS
My theory is that they don't read and study the Bible for themselves. So they fall for lies because they don't know the truth for themselves. If they had a basic knowledge of biblical principles, then they would be able to expose phony ministers like this man. But being at a knowledge deficit of the Bible leaves you more susceptible. For Predators like this man.
The video reports on that. "The children were taken out of there Family" Meaning.... kidnapped
The children of preachers are also horrible people.
It is painful to know that this kind of torture/ treatment/ abuse still exist and the victims can not voice their suffering because there is a price to pay if you complain.
This sounds, in many ways, like what went on with Jim Jones and the People’s Temple.
It was just like slavery. Women and men where lynched , raped , branded, babies and young children where snatched from their mothers an used as alligator bait. Children as young as five years were sent to the fields to work from sun up to sun down with their parents . The difference...we endured it for five hundred.
Years.
Many cults like this have existed before. Branch Dividians, David Koresh.
The movie with Emma Watson is amazing, and what's even more amazing are the ammounts of prison time sentenced to those f-ing animals!!!
My heart goes out to all the victims
What movie ?
UrFavouriteGal1 movie is called Colonia... Was on Netflix and then was taken off...
Its a very good movie and quite brave for the stars and makers to make it. If you like this I also reccomend "The Whistleblower" starring Rachel Weisz.
How can it be amazing if Emma Watson is in it 😫🤮
@@99ron30 I watched the whistleblower. A very good movie.
😳 oh my god...I’m slowly starting to realize that Scientology operates in the SAME EXACT WAY! It’s almost like this is the playbook. Wow...
How so? Share and spread information. Once they invited me over and I didn't feel like assisting.
C D - Scientology: Separating children from their families is a big one, especially at an early age. The Sea Org comes to mind. Sexual abuse of those children occurred as well. Some even killed themselves. Adults have jobs within the cult but no wage to speak of. They are very insular and not allowed access to outside information, media, etc. They practice humiliation of current and former members. They also practice betrayal of each other, so whenever a member hears or sees something they consider unacceptable, they write it down and send that information or talk about it during one of those sessions they have. The members also have to do confessions as well. The cult makes money off of the members they have telling them they need to get to higher levels and each level is more expensive. They are always trying to recruit. Members disappear and no one is safe: Miscavige’s wife has been “missing” for years and no one in the org seems to care. The similarities are uncanny and I wouldn’t have known as much if I didn’t watch Leah Remini’s docu-series.
What I wanna know is where Hubbard and this Schäfer dude learn how to operate a cult.
@@c-light7624 I think humans have done these things for thousands of years, unfortunately - the human psyche hasn't changed much in that time ...
@@kathleenmaryparker8662 it’s not the human psyche itself that’s the problem, but rather the cycle of abuse... psychologist Alice Miller has fantastic books on how the whole mechanism functions.
and almost like the FLDS has the same copy of the playbook too
I know the world isn’t a place filled with rainbows and unicorns at every turn, but as a 26 year old man I actually still struggle to wrap my head around the fact that there are people this evil, sociopathic and criminal roaming our streets and breathing our air. There is being a bad person, and then there’s this. Methodical,, relentless manipulation and pain inflicted by real life monsters.
And they call us indigenous people savages
This is the shame of chilean democracy, police never did anything, a journalist had to find schaeffer, this place still function and now its opened for tourism, runned by the same people who were at the top with schaeffer. The chilean state should be ashamed of itself and us chileans must stop supporting villa baviera and their business, its shameful.
Not true, it was an investigator in Santiago that convinced a judge to order a warrant for the pedo pig.
It goes way deeper than that, i am from chile too, born in santiago. The secretes and information that the germans had on chile officials and people in general was too much, thats why they never really intervened. It was because of all the secretes the germans had made them gain power.
Excellent documentary, a real eye opener. Well done.
Thank you Al Jazeera for telling a truth that other media outlets and our own government shy away from. Love to be able to watch this Channel. It is refreshing to see true and fair journalism. I grow up in Chile and from an early age I heard stories about Colonia Dignidad and Nazis hiding in Chile but no one did anything. What a shame. I hope that justice will prevailed for all the victims. So sad.
Go back to Germany
What a misnomer Dignidad, when there was no dignity.
Never heard about this before. Watched the Netflix movie Colonia and was shocked to see it was based on a true story. There's a whole is evil in this world. Every victimizer should be tortured to death. What a horrible thing.
Netflix the home of pedophile apologists. Wake up
My
There is another documentary about it made by DW
@Pílula de Internet That miniseries doc is reductionist, it doesn't tell a lot of things.
“Every victimizer should be tortured to death.” That’s what the evil people also think. They just think that they are the ones who are right and that others are wrong.
The Nazis were bad but it was the Latin American dictators who gave them jobs like Pinochet and Peron etc and protected them in return for money from Martin Bormann who didn't die in Berlin but escaped to Argentina via Spain with a whole stash of money, gold and other valuables etc.
Jon Hart, hate to break the news to you, but they found and identified the remains of Martin Bormann in Berlin where he died trying to flee the Bunker.
Bullshit
Also responsible is the USA who protected many Nazis for their own gain.
The Germans should be held accountable of the horrors in Africa......
By whom?
Well your right, all I meant was for their own crime. If individuals pay for a crime committed so nations should be held accountable. All this nations have blood on their hands and owe a lot to the world, for the destruction of cultures languages and most importantly human lives . They are supposed to be indebted to Africa and places like India etc , not the other way round.
Secrets always grow in the dark. And lies always lead to secrets. And what grows in the dark is pain, and horror and is the breeding ground of more evil.
Great episode and great documentary, Thanks Lucia and AJE

Intelligence without wisdom is unintelligible and dangerous.
We put far too much emphasis on intelligence, and far too little on wisdom.
Wisdom teaches how to most properly, effectively and efficiently allot intelligence in the most beneficial way.
Perfect wisdom is dignity and unconditional love.
the very tall skyscraper at the end is owned by Horst Paulmann, a well known acquaintance of Colonia Dignidad and one of the richest men in the country... So I guess it will be difficult for the victims
His father was SS.
Nothing is worse than abusing a child. It haunts them throughout their lives.. So if we see or feel something thats not right in a child we have to speak up & defend.
What’s up with Germans and all that crazy testing on human subjects?!!!
What government doesn't treat its citizens as "subjects?"
They just liked authentic experiments on human subjects rather than on mice.
2 mins in and this poor guy is breaking my heart. I hope you find Solace kind gentleman.
What a crazy story. It seems like something someone would make up, a book or something out of this world. Insane that it was a reality.
There are a few films about it. Many books.
i found out about it after watching emma watson's film, called collonia, amazing film!
Could you please tell what are these books?
The horrors described are beyond concoction or imagination. Fairytales exist so the human mind can come to grasp there are monsters amongst us. And that their psyches is beyond our comprehension.
There's a film starring Emma watson in it
I've now heard your stories and glad I did. I can now pray for you all.

Speaking as a Bible believer, those who claim to "follow the Bible" often take it out of context and twist verses to make it say what they want.
I agree! I'm not even a Christian but condemning the Bible because of all sick people that used the Bible for their own benefits is completely wrong. I actually love the new testament and believe in God. But as you said a lot of people take things out of context.
A german Hotel what is this ??!!!!! Why !!??? Who goes to a place like this i Dont und er stand this is sick
without Al Jazeera we would not know a lot of what is going on in the world thank you very much for your news and Outlook
I have just seen the film "The Colony" which is a true story of what went on here. That man should have been executed slowly.
It wasn't just the leader or "the Colony" that was responsible, it was ALL of the adults living there, who supported the abuse and exploitation. All of them were both victims and perpetrators at the same time. That's why they stick together and now continue to live in the same community.
A love for order can be a good thing in the right dosage, but can easily turn into a totalitarian regime, when horrific things are overlooked by everyone just to maintain the appearance of "order".
And chances are these were not random German families who simply heard about this cult and decided to join. These were people who had something to hide and chose to stick with others just like them. The Chilean and German governments definitely have all the info. Heck, the German embassy sent the victims back into the colony when they came for help! Disgusting.
Ex-president Lagos sounded like he didn't know anything. He was the president (2000-2006) for 6 years and he didn't do anything to help the victims. What a despicable human being.
The cruelest people hide behind faith and religion. You know a person is bad when they try to separate parents from their children.
I can only imagine, the atrocities these poor ppl went thru..
These revelations are so awful, almost unbelievable but they so much need bringing to public attention. Thank you, Al Jazeera
Thank you for sharing this story
That generation of Germans was messed up.
This is like those Irish magdalen laundries
It annoyed me everytime she said 'colony'. It clearly has all the hallmarks of a cult.
Now, people like Schaefer go to S.E. Asia to find their "supply".
Such bravery and great courage displayed by the weakest and most broken. Love sent your way.
🙏Praying for mental, emotional, and physical healing of these victims. 💞✝️💞 Hope Winfried Hempel wins against the Chilean and German governments for these horrific crimes against children and adults.
