Meisjes van de Goede Herder plot

Between 1860 and 1996, hundreds of thousands of girls worldwide were cared for by the Catholic Sisters of the Good Shepherd. The monastic order offered shelter to girls who fell outside society. In the Netherlands there were five convents and probably about twenty thousand girls. They had to work in sewing shops and laundries and live according to the strict rules of the sisters. The forced labor and treatment of the sisters has left deep scars on many girls. In this series, Britta Hosman talks to the last witnesses: the girls from then, the few surviving sisters and the current leadership of the still existing Sisters of the Good Shepherd congregation.

Meisjes van de Goede Herder season 1

Impressive/shocked and utterly incomprehensible that this was even possible. That director is very typical of a Catholic/religious representative. Reacting as evasively as possible, twisting words, stating his opinion as fact, and not taking responsibility. What a disgrace!
Piles of dead young women, and nothing done to uncover the truth. No archival information provided. As far as I'm concerned, it could have been much more coercive/mandatory to uncover what's supposedly not in their archives.

The ruling is very clinical and cold. Statutes of limitations should be banned (and have been since 2013 for certain cases).

Religion destroys more than you love.
In many countries (and where it hasn't come out yet, it will undoubtedly come out, if it can no longer be kept under wraps) unfortunately...
