Personal Statement

I wish to tell my story to hopefully make sure that what happened to the families back then does not ever happen again. So many times children were taken for the wrong reasons. They felt at the time that because of our fair skins we could be assimilated out. That’s the wrong reason for taking us. If they had taken us away because we were being neglected then I could understand that, but you see we were very well cared for, very happy children. I could outfight anyone my age and even some boys older then myself, that’s how fit I was. So I believe they took us for the wrong reason.
