This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Mt. Magdalene School of Industry & Reformatory in Troy, NY Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/BUB.2ACI/6209 Message Board Post: 8/30/2003 Saturday You have to see the movie “The Magdalene Sisters”. Please find out when it is playing in your area. This will definitely show you the abuse and mental infliction of pain by the Nun order Sisters of the Good Shepherd. Many mothers, sisters, grandmothers were abused, committed suicide or died by questionable means. I know that someone out there knows of a family member who may have been in one of these places. We need your help and would like to talk to you, of course in complete confidence. I just saw the movie with my friend whose grandmother died in one of these horrible places. There used to be a place like this in Troy, NY. It was called Mt. Magdalene School of Industry and Reformatory. We really need to talk to someone who may have been a “resident” or know of someone who was resident or worked there or was a vendor who delivered or pickup laundry at this place. Some of the “residents” when in at 15 years old and didn’t leave until 40 to 50 years later. All of these wrongs must be righted! Below are 2 pictures that you must see. One is of MHC and the other is the Mt Magdalene School. Please help if you can. We look forward to hearing from you and remember our conversations and / or writing are kept in strict confidence.
