Founded by ex-Nazi Paul Schafer, the cult not only survived unnoticed but also served as a tool of oppression during the military dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet. The article investigates the chilling question of how such an enclave evaded justice for so long, examining the role of the Chilean government, which either neglected to intervene or outright supported its actions. The lingering issues raise concerns about the possibility of justice for the victims.
