A crew from Hungarian Television recently visited the tiny village of Vulsani in the Ukraine. Not so far from the Hungarian border they came across an orphanage where mentally retarded, handicapped and healthy orphans are all kept together, and in terrible conditions. Watching these shocking pictures and at the sight of these sad lives we ask ourselves: Do such things still exist in Europe at the end of the 20th century? Why do they exist, and for how much longer will they exist?
