	Institutional Child Abuse and the Making of Amends Shatter Our Silence December 19, 2010 http://sos.no-ip.net/content.php?r=4452-Shameful-chapter-of-the-Federal-Republic-of-Germany-lasting-several-decades-after-the-war-today-ends-in-renewed-abuse-of-victims-in-their-senior-years A shameful compensation offer for abused and exploited former German children and juvenile inmates of state and church correctional and industrial Homes and Institutions. Two generations of children and teenagers being confined in foster-home and correctional schools, confined in church institutions or state institutions of one kind or another, institutions for the detention of children and minors --- an estimated 3,500 such institutions in total existed in postwar West-Germany in the late 1940s, the 1950s, the 1960s, the 1970s, up until the mid 1980s ! Even according to conservative estimates we have contributed billions of Euros to the GDP of Germany. This was done while we were children, working with our small bodies at great cost to our health, well being, education and our own prosperity. The vast majority of us were never allowed to go to good schools while we labored. As a result, we could not study or even learn a skill that would grant us the chance of gainful employment.
