>> [music] >> Charities packed over 250,000 orphans onto trains heading [music] west, promising them a better life and loving adoptive families. But the reality was a living nightmare.
When the [music] trains arrived at rural stations, the children were forced onto wooden platforms and inspected [music] like livestock. Adult farmers checked their teeth and felt their muscles [music] to see if they were strong enough to for hard labor.
Most of these children were never treated as sons or daughters. They were taken as [music] free legal slave labor to work the American fields until they were adults. Charity >> [music] >> was just a cover for mass exploitation.
