Summary

Paul Schäfer was a German minister that absconded to Chile after child abuse allegations surfaced in Germany after WWII in 1945. He went on to found and lead an agricultural commune of 300 German immigrants called Colonia Dignidad located in Parral, Chile.

For over 40 years the gluttonous thirst for his sinful tendencies, led this evil man to abuse and torture the members of Colonia Dignidad, including sexually and physically abusing young children. Schäfer also maintained a relationship with Pinochet's military dictatorship and was involved in weapons smuggling and the torture and extrajudicial killings of political dissidents.
