The Cadets: Children of the Sea Organization

While Robert Dam worked to satisfy an insatiable media with misleading portrayals of the lives of children whose parents were part of the Sea Organization in Copenhagen, those same children, now adults, provide pictorial evidence to trounce Dam’s vicious fabrications and distortions, providing instead a true and accurate account with personal photos of their youth when they were Cadets.

In interviews, the now-grown Cadets describe all facets of their life growing up in the Sea Organization. They spoke of their schooling, where they learned mathematics, reading, geography, science, biology and languages including English, German, French and Danish. To their regular sports activities—swimming, roller skating, baseball, basketball and volleyball. They went on outings—sailing, museums, mountain climbing. They went on camping trips, cultural excursions and canoe outings.

And unlike the experience of most Danish schoolchildren, there were no drugs in the schools they attended.

They spent time with their parents and had loving relationships with them.

Pictures don’t lie.
