Hi i am now almost sixty six years old and still struggle to put any of it into perspective I don't think that I will ever come to terms with how so many evil people both within the walls of this terrible terrible, place or indeed without,
like those from the surrounding area some of whom so called; pillars of the community knowing that there were those amongst them that took full advantage of all those little treats that were on offer due to the generosity of not only the Brotherhood but the blind eyes of the civilian staff within. thank god that the brothers are [ apparently ] all dead.
