NORTHERN IRELAND
News Letter
Nuns who ran a hell hole children’s home in Northern Ireland were nearly psychotic, a former resident said.
The Sisters of Nazareth property in Londonderry was like Auschwitz, youngsters’ screams of despair still haunting survivors, the UK’s largest ever inquiry into institutional child abuse was told.
Inmates formed chain gangs to polish floors until they sparkled – with arms linked and rags under both feet – and were beaten with bamboo canes and straps.
One witness reported sexual abuse by older boys to a nun.
The sister allegedly said: “You are a bad boy, you are going to hell, nothing like that ever happened.”
