Dear Mr Rudd,

I write this letter because I was one of the many children who were stolen many years ago. I was many years sad and angry about it, because of my terrible childhood. When I saw the speech I could not stop the tears from rolling down. It was so wonderful to get an apologize of the terrible things that happened to me and many children too. It’s a wonderful feeling to get an apologize and I want to thank you for the wonderful words you said in your speech. It was so heart-touching. I really wish I could forget this terrible time but now it’s a peace of my storry.

Yours sincerely,

Zita Wallace

Dear Mr. Rudd,

I write you this letter because I heard your speech of 12th February 2008 and it was very nice to hear. I was also a part of that stolen generation and I was very sad all my childhood. I miss mum, dad and my brothers and sisters so much. I am very glad to hear the word “sorry” about what happened. Very much girls are a part of the stolen generation and we are all very sad about our children story. We could not go to school like you. We have to clean rooms, cook dinner and wash clothes. We learned to read and to write but not more. If we spoke our old language, the nuns used to hit us, so we learn to live like white children. The government wanted us to forget our family traditions and it was very hard for me. I wish that the other generations are not a part of these awful stolen generation and I am very happy that there is somebody who apologizes about the happened things.

Yours sincerely,

Zita Wallace

Dear Mr. Rudd,

I write this letter to you because I heard your speech from the 12th of February 2008 about the stolen children. I´m one of thousand children who were stolen. And I think it´s good to tell the people about that. It´s good for them to see how somebody feel who hurt and haven´t done anything. I´m very thankful that my wish of the apologize become true. I feel very scared, for my whole live because I was only 6 years old. But I think it´s very difficult to think about what happened to me and the other Kids because nobody wants to be in this situation and it´s very hard for me to understand. I hope after that the people know more about us and they respect us as we are. I think nobody can change this and this is right, but I think it´s good, that the Minister says something about what happened. I hope that the people who hurted us realized after we had gone, what they did and I will never wish somebody what we have to live. After the speech I cried and I had gooseflesh all over my skin I want to say thank you for that. I hope that the rules about that get stronger and that the people who would do this think about it, before they destroyed their and the victims life. In this case thank you.

Your sincerely,

Zita Wallace

Dear Mister Rudd,

I write this letter because I heard your speech on 12th February 2008 and I am one of thousend stolen childrens. It was nice to hear your apology. But I miss my mum, dad and my siblings. I do not have a childhood because I grew up in a ophanage. Lots of children were with me in one big room and the most were crying. We all slept on hard mettresses and whenever we spoke our language they beat us. And we must cleaning and cooking the whole day. And the only thing we learned was to read and write. Now so long time after this happened you at least say sorry! I hope that more people now know our history and respect us as we are.

Yours sincerely,

Dear Mr Rudd,

I heard your speech and I was very emotional during it. I wanted to say thanks to all of you. It was a hard time to all of us but now you are saying the things what you did were wrong. You cannot remove the past but you can promise that you are not going to repeat your mistake. The Aborigines are going to be fine with it.

Greetings from Worita

Letter to Mr Kevin Rudd, prime minister

Dear Mr Rudd,

I sat in the room you have hold your apology and my heart was touched. I want to write you letter about my feelings.

I had been stolen from the nuns as I was a child. They told me that we would going shopping, and then they took me into a home for orphans. I did not know why they had done this and I was shocked. It was awful, terrible and painful. I felt angry about the case and the thoughts that we were just slaves for the nuns. They destroyed my childhood. So your apology means a lot to me. I have to thank you that you have reconciled aboriginal and white people. I think you are an example for the humanity. Thank you a lot. It´s not too late to say sorry.

Yours sincerely,

Zita Wallace

It was nice to hear your apology. I'm very thankful about it. I don't have a childhood because I grew up in a ophanage. I feld very scared, for my whole live because I was only 6 years old and a kid.

Meret

Dear Mr Rudd,

you will be aware that your speech has reached a lot of people. I heard it too as one of the affected people and I still feel uncomfortable to talk about this topic, even if it is a very long time ago. However, I wan to express myself.

As already mentioned the crime was a long time ago. I fully appreciate that you was not the person who committed the crime, but at present you are responsible for this action. Therefore, the apology is in my opinion not fully acceptable, because you are without qualifications, but I want to reconcile with you and any other affected people. I am happy that anyone apologizes to us.

What was most worrying was that I did not know where my family was and what all the trouble about my origin meant. I felt lost and I can still sense those feelings. My whole childhood was stolen and I could never live my life as I wanted to do.

I am sure that your apology is meant seriously and I would not wish to make anybody feel that way I felt.

Yours sincerely,

Zita Wallace

Lisa

Dear Mr. Rudd,

I heard your speech when you said sorry for the ‘stolen generation’. I was one of them. I do not know what I should say. Should I say thank you or should I say these words are not enough? I mean it is a long time ago and it took a long time to apologize. And it is weird because you were not a president at this time but you apologize for that. It was a long time of my life that nobody can give back to me with a apology. But I think it is great to know that you know, that is was not okay. And I hope you do not do that again. So I think your words are enough. I think that your words are true and I think you do it not for publicity, I think you said these words because you are a good man and you have a big heart.

Yours sincerely,

Zita Wallace

Erik

Dear Mr. Rudd,

I write this letter because I was one of thousands of children who were stolen. Your speech was great, and I would say that you cannot change what happened. I liked that one apologizes to us. My feelings during the speech were wonderful. After the speech I cried, and I would like to thank you for apologizing as prime minister for these acts/actions/deeds. I also want to be reconciled with the government and the other people who let the nuns live without punishments.

Yours sincerely,

Zita Wallace

Hanna

Dear Mr. Rudd,

I write this letter to say thank you for your speech. I think it is good to let the people know, that you know, that it is not okay to steel kids from their families and their culture. Also when it was for a few years and in this time, another man was the president. It is important, that everybody know, that this time is over and you say for the important Australians sorry. I was one of the the stolen kids or the “stolen generation” and it was not an good part of my life. When I think about the time, I feel very bad and I do not want to think about this time. I think it is time to reconcile and leave the time in the past.

Yours sincerely,

Zita Wallace

Jonathan

Dear Mr. Rudd,

I am writing this letter, because I was also one of the children, who got stolen in the time between 1910 and 1970. I want to say thank you for this speech and this apologize. I had a hard time in the orphan’s house of the nuns and it was not a beautiful childhood, but I think I can forgive them and especially you. I liked your speech and I had the feeling, that after such a long time, I would be redeemed from this terrible crime. I don’t care about getting money from the government. For me, that matters is, that you said honestly sorry.

Yours sincerely,

Zita Wallace.

Tobi

Dear Mr.Rudd,

I have heard your conversation and therefore write this letter to you. I am very grateful for your apology. It was a very bad time for me and my family back then. The other children who were stolen at that time were happy about this apology.I think that is very helpful for your future as Prime Minister.

Your sincerly,

Zita Wawallce.

Moritz

Dear Mr. Rudd,

I've heard of your speech and since then I've needed someone to talk to. You came to mind right in. I am also one of those affected. Even after all these years, I still feel uncomfortable talking about this issue. My child was also stolen and I haven't seen it since yet. I am so pleased that I was able to talk to you.

Your sincerly,

Zita Wawallce.

Adrian

Dear Mister Rudd, I heard about your speech and want to tell you my opinion to this. I, Zita Wallace was one of those children who got stolen. I respect your Apologize, but I also feel sad, because the Australian government had to be responsible for what they did earlier. It makes me sad to think, that the Country I am living in stole children from their parents, so they correspond their ideal. I would had like this Apologize happening earlier, but this is past now. Yours sincerely, Zita Wallace
