Document Summary
Children taken from homes by person in car. Brought to a church, 4 rows of beds on each side, hospital beds and assigned one bed. Bathed and ddt was put into hair to kill hair lice. At night time, had to kneel and pray before sleep. A sister would stay by the door and have a window to watch them at night, scared them. Next day eyes hurt and could barely open because of ddt. Washed hair again, and immediately after cut hair: to take away culture, humanity and sense of self. Given a number, 99 was the number that basically defined her now. Girls believed that white was better, kept washing vigorously to be more white, dark is. 6am, go to sink would wash face and hands dirty. Priests told people that their parents wanted them to be there and told them they need to be better and the priests are saving them from a dying culture.
