Beatings, rapes and a suppository for every ailment: this is the college where Vincent Van Quickenborne, Sven Ornelis and Geert Hoste went to school | Domestic

The Ghent Sint-Barbara College is one of the seven Flemish Jesuit colleges, where fathers were in charge for almost two centuries. The fact that students were abused there is now coming to light after testimonies from Vincent Van Quickenborne, Geert Hoste and Sven Ornelis. These former students denounce the inappropriate behavior within the school walls. Portrait of a college where “the fathers, teachers and students felt better than the rest of society”.
