Information trouvée : Colonia Dignidad is a settlement in southern Chile founded by German immigrants in
1961. Investigations by Amnesty International and the National Truth and Reconciliation
Commission (Rettig Commission) have further confirmed that Colonia Dignidad was used
as an arm of DINA, the Chilean secret police, in conjunction with the colony's leaders
for holding and torturing political prisoners. A group of Germans who arrived in Chile
in the mid-1950s founded La Sociedad Benefactora y Educacional Dignidad and were joined
in 1961 by their eventual leader, Paul Schaefer. 1991, then president Patricio Aylwin
stripped Colonia Dignidad of its non-profit status and the colony re-organized under
the name Villa Baviera.
