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. Best wishes Mrs. Wallace
