Nestled in the rolling hills of central Chile, Villa Baviera looks like a peaceful village, with its red tiled roofs, manicured lawns, and lush forest.
But, beneath the picture-book setting lies a chilling past.
Once known as Colonia Dignidad, it used to be a secretive paedophile sect established by a one-eyed Nazi after he fled Germany.
Paul Schaefer oversaw daily torture and abuse of child slaves living at the commune, in Parral, south of the capital Santiago, for over three decades after founding it in 1961.
He formed the cult after persuading followers to sell their possessions in Germany and move to Chile to form what he said would be a religious farming commune and charity.
