Ho, Ho, Holy shit.
It takes a special kind of dick hole to be jealous of a kid's affection for Santa Claus. But when you take into consideration that Paul Schäfer was a Nazi, pedophile, and notorious cult leader, his disdain for jolly old St. Nick starts to make a bit more sense. After all, how could he afford to make space for the children of his commune to love and celebrate anyone more than him? To secure their affection, it was all too appropriate for Paul to shit in the eggnog and bless these kiddos with a Christmas gift that would keep on giving: devastating emotional trauma.
This month, as a special holiday stick of dynamite, Team HF takes you deep into the heart of Chile, to a heavily guarded hellscape known as "Colonia Dignidad." It's there we'll turn the lens to an isolated colony of Germans established in post-World War II which, under the leadership of German preacher Paul Schäfer, became notorious for the internment, torture, and murder of dissidents during the military dictatorship of General Augusto Pinochet in the 1970s.
