...some degree, the revelations in West Germany complemented the stories provided by new witnesses in Brazil. In her attractive white house in the affluent hillside community of Petropolis Park, outside Sao Paulo, a nervous Gitta Stammer, who had earlier come forward to support and supplement the Bossert account, told her story to TIME's Jacqueline Reditt. Her face pale and worried, her hands trembling, the slight, 65-year-old Hungarian-born woman described how she and her family had kept a longtime lodger's secret for 22 anxious years...

Blessed with all of these benefits, one would think they would be happy, hopeful, cheerful, and smiling. Instead, they are grim, without humor, without simple hopes or simple joys. They are "un-women" who can, without blinking, with words that outwardly have the cloak of moral rhetoric but inwardly express selfishness and auger, that they will kill their own children to get their way.
