Description

Those Who Trespass Against Us is a heart-wrenching account of a young boy's struggle to survive in the face of inhumane treatment. Based on the life of Walter O'Keeffe, this book tells the story of his experiences in Ireland's Industrial Schools, particularly Greenmont Industrial School in Cork, where he was subjected to physical and emotional abuse. Walter's story is a vivid portrayal of the horrific conditions in these schools, where children were starved, beaten, and preyed upon. Despite the trauma he endured, Walter's memories of his early life with his parents and his childhood sweetheart, Josie, provide a glimmer of hope and a sense of escape. The book also explores the lasting impact of these experiences on individuals, even years after they left the schools. Published in 2007, this book offers a powerful and personal account of a shameful period in Irish history, one that continues to have a profound impact on those who lived through it.
