Finally - Apology to the Stolen Generation of Australia
In Perth, Steffi and I visited the National Museum of Western Australia. There, we saw an extremely well done exhibition about the Stolen Generation which made both of us very sad. Because what some Australians did to their Indigenous people was very sad - they literally stole their children. I personally thought that it is a scandal, that (at this time) official Australia (that is the PM) did not apologize for this extremely sad chapter of Australia’s history. And I thought it is embarrising…. anway. Yesterday, Kevin Rudd (MP), finally apologized in the name of the federal government of Australia and its parliament.
You can watch the whole apology here - you should at least watch the first part (~3 minutes) because history was written here.
PS: If you don’t know nothing at all about the Stolen Generation, Google it now!
