What do you get when you mix a cult, Nazis, pedophilia and a close relationship with a dictator?
In 1961, Paul Schafer left Belgium to escape accusations of sexually abusing more than 30 children. Chile at the time was a hot spot for ex-Nazis fleeing the end of WWII and so he decided to make a new home there and name it Colonia Dignidad.
Along with 280 other Europeans he became the leader of this cloistered, odd, and torturous colony. In this month's episode find out all of Colonia Dignidad's dirty secrets...
TW: pedophilia (as already mentioned), Nazis, torture, genital mutilation (not detailed), and abuse
