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.

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.
