Quotes

From Lost Innocents:

…to this day, the only paper I have regarding my childhood history is a photocopy of the ships logbook documenting my name, age, religion and an identification No. which I must add my name and religion had been changed as I found out later when I found my family. This only reason I knew where I originally came from was because I remembered, not because anyone in authority told me.

(pp142–43)

From Forgotten Australians:

It is something that has never left me – how and why these places were allowed to run the way they were is impossible for me to comprehend – it made no sense. A place to de-humanise children? It worked.

(p41)
