The Stolen Children: Their Stories

These stories rise out of the pain of separation and displacement. Showing hope and forgiveness, the writers give an insight into the strength of the human spirit. 'The Stolen Children - Their Stories' is an acknowledgement of the human tragedy created during a misunderstood and shameful part of Australia's history.

'The Stolen Children - Their Stories' includes a collection of documents and personal stories of Indigenous people that appear in the Report from the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission, 'Bringing Them Home'.

Also in this collection are the reactions to the Report by political and community leaders. Contributing writers include Hon. Kim Beazley MP, Veronica Brady, Martin Flanagan, Robert Manne, Henry Reynolds, Sir Ronald Wilson, and Jack Waterford.

This collection of stories and perspectives is redemptive. It is a step toward healing the suffering of the stolen generations and it urgently demonstrates the importance to every Australian of national compassion and a true spirit of reconciliation.

Part of the royalties for this book will go to the Indigenous people whose stories are published here.
