And they offered me $20,000 and I declined again.

The next day it went back to $10,000.

And, you know, they were taping me.

We subsequently found out.

They were taping you?

They were recording your conversations with them?

Yes.

I was entirely monitored.

What did they say when you knocked it back, this offer?

They were regretful and, you know, thought it was in my best interest and very proudly said that other families had already settled and left.

I don't know whether that was true or not.

What they wanted, of course, was information about my parents' health.

And then the questions started at subsequent meetings.

You know, they were demanding medical and dental records, which were coming from Australia.

But when I was thinking that it would aid the investigation, the identification, I was forthcoming with details.

So the moment they found out my mother had varicose veins, ah, therefore she would have had a heart condition, therefore she probably would have been dead in 10 years.

My father...

had a cataract, therefore he was probably diabetic, therefore he would have been... And he smoked, so therefore he would have been dead in five years anyway.

So it was that sort of merciless interrogation.
