English Summary/英文概要： First-hand insights into a cult. A touching and compelling memoir.
This book tells the story of a love growing slowly in the midst of abuse and exploitation in a brutal torture cult, which poses as a Bavarian vacation camp. However, despite all the horrors, this story has fairy-tale-aspects: The lost and reclaimed life. Due to the female perspective, this book will appeal particularly to female readers.
For forty years, up to 500 people lived within the confines of a torture chamber: the „Colonia Dignidad“ in Chile. It has long been common knowledge that atrocious things happened behind the walls of the totalitarian cult, which disguised itself with the façade of a perfect little narrow-minded world of the 1950s. However, it was only in 2006 that the founder of the cult, Paul Schäfer, was tried in court. He was sentenced to a prison term of 20 years and condemned to spend the rest of his life behind bars while the former inmate residents of his “Colony of Dignity” began to take their first baby steps into real life. But most of them stayed put, as they had either lost their ability to be free or had never learned it in the first place.
Gudrun Wagner und Wolfgang Müller are counted among those who left the place of horrors, which had almost cost them their lives. Today they reside in Germany. They both survived electro-shock treatments and medical experiments. And a regime that tortured human beings by means of humiliation, forced labor, and psychological terror. A community created solely so that one man, Paul Schäfer, could sexually abuse boys between the ages of 7 and 12 and get away with it.
Wolfgang and Gudrun had long had feelings for one another. When they could finally escape from the cult, they got married. After decades, during which they were not allowed to talk to each other, not even to look at each other. Because in the “Colony”, families were systematically destroyed, as men and women, girls and boys were kept strictly separated.
As Gudrun and Wolfgang tell us their touching story, we begin to understand how brainwashing works when conducted methodically and by ruthless criminals. And we bear witness to the love.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 对邪教第一手的见解。这是一个动人的、有吸引力的回忆录。
这本书讲述了一个爱情故事，在残酷的折磨邪教虐待和剥削中慢慢成长，而这个邪教假面为一个巴伐利亚度假营一样。然而，除了所有的恐惧外，这本书还有它童话般故事的一面：丢失并又再生的生活。从女性角度来讲，这本书将极其受女性欢迎。
40年来，超过500人生活在酷刑室的限制范围内：智利的“Colonia Dignidad”。在极权主义邪教的围墙后发生的残暴事情很久以前就已经是常识了，但却利用20世纪50年代那个完美狭隘的世界的表面很好地掩饰了自己。然而，仅仅是在2006年，邪教的创始人Paul Schäfer才被带上了法庭。当他“尊严殖民地”的前抓捕者开始了他们现实生活的第一步时，他被判处有期徒刑20年，要在铁牢笼里度过余生。不过大部分人还是留在了那里，或许是他们已经丧失了自由的能力，或许是他们从来就没有学会怎样获得自由。
Gudrun Wagner和Wolfgang Müller是离开了那个给人带来恐惧的地方的人，他们几乎在那里耗费了他们的一生。现今他们住在德国。他们都忍受了电击治疗和药物实验而存活下来。还有那通过耻辱、强迫劳动和心理上的恐惧来折磨人们的政权也活了下来。一个仅仅是为了Paul Schäfer可以对7岁到12岁的男孩儿进行性虐并为所欲为而建立的社区。
Wolfgang和Gudrun已经互相喜欢很久了。当他们最终逃出那里后，他们结婚了。几十年之后，他们不允许互相说话甚至也不允许互相看一眼。因为在“殖民地”里，家庭已经被系统破坏了，男人和女人，女孩儿和男孩儿都被严格的分开了。
当Wolfgang和Gudrun告诉我们他们感人的故事后，我们开始理解在有条不紊的方法和残忍的罪犯面前洗脑是怎么进行的。我们是这份爱情的见证。（LNL & CK）
