Скачать или смотреть The Stolen Generations

As opposed to Japan and Germany, Australia was not quite the hardliner when it came to race and society. Or so it thought.

At the turn of the 20th century the white Australian government, convinced that indigenous peoples would be better off assimilated into white society, enforced policies that forcibly removed the children of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples from their families, in hopes of making the adults “die out” through natural elimination, while the children were integrated into the "mainstream" community.

From 1905 to the 1970s, kidnapping, essentially, became government policy.
