So, yes, I feel incredibly proud of this woman that I had never met except on papers and news. She is not only brave and intelligent but an amazing human being, for being able to feel sympathy for a very sad little man in an ambient of sadness, crazyness and torture, for never let herself go, and for go on.

Around that time I was finally able to cut myself off from the perpetrators of the abuse as well as, for a time, from the family member who had allowed it all to happen. But early in my adult life I existed in a kind of numb ambivalence, both resenting what had happened to me and yet longing for the love and approval of those who had controlled, manipulated and abused me and who had also, contradictorily, been primary attachment figures and sources of love and affection.

Al final, una vez que lo terminas, siempre queda esa parte triste, en la que te das cuenta de cómo una niña salió de su casa y no volvió a ella. Recuerdas (si naciste en un tiempo suficientemente anterior al 2006), de cómo tú te divertías, comías pizza, veías películas, salías a pasear, discutías por cualquier cosa, te quejabas de levantarte temprano para ir al colegio,y abrazabas a tu madre, mientras, sin que tú lo supieras, había una niña a quien le habían arrebatado todo eso.

Retrieved 7 September 2006.A couple of years on, the cellar was filled in but Natascha continued to visit the house, spending a couple of nights a week there. In 2016, 10 years after her escape, it was reported that she still kept the house obsessively clean and looking like it did originally. However, in 2019, she wanted to sell the house to a group of refugees but could not get permission from the neighbors and the Mayor to do so, and continues to be the owner of the house. Kampusch has also been criticised by readers for the starkness of her prose, but to me it felt utterly appropriate. This is not a novel and the events and circumstances she describes need no additional dramatisation, nor emotive language to win our sympathy. It is enough that she has had the courage to share her story in such detail, not shrinking from any of the atrocities he committed, with the exception of his sexual abuse. I respect and understand the choice Kampusch has made in not including this aspect of her enslavement to him. She wrote the book only four years after her escape. It's early days yet for her to be processing and healing what has happened to her, and to expose herself to such a degree may well have compounded the damage done.

The Channel 5 documentary The Girl in The Cellar: 8 Years Underground, is set to delve into the 1998 disappearance of Natascha Kampusch. Natascha was 10 years old when she disappeared seemingly without trace, on March 2, 1998, from near her home in Vienna. A huge police investigation took place, spanning not just Austria, but reaching much further abroad. Eight years later, Natascha was found alive and the truth of her years missing spread rapidly. Her story spawned many conspiracy theories, and later inconsistencies meant that the truth of her time in captivity was sometimes shaky. With the documentary attempting to reveal the truth, we look at what happened to Natascha Kampusch, and the whereabouts of her kidnapper. The First Post: Victim or villain: Austria decides". The First Post. 20 September 2006. Archived from the original on 12 October 2006. Kampusch was identified by a scar on her body, by her passport (which was found in the room where she had been held), and by DNA tests. [33] She was in good physical health, [34] although she looked pale and shaken and weighed only 48kg (106lb); she weighed 45kg (99lb) when she disappeared eight years earlier. Her body mass index had reached as low as 14.8 (normal BMI: 18.5 to 24.9), and she grew only 15cm (5.9in) during her captivity. At this point in my life, I feel the best I can do is convert my experience and insights into a fictional set of characters in circumstances that are comparable to ones I experienced as a child and young adult...but not the same. I have been re-inspired by Kampusch's memoir because it has affirmed my own belief that it is forgiveness, understanding and a capacity to see all the shades of grey in our experience of being human that will ultimately set us free: free from judgment, from self-righteousness, from any kind of idealism that divides the world and other people into good and evil, and from concepts of heaven and hell in which some of us are rewarded and some of us are condemned to eternal damnation. Meanwhile, a frantic search had begun to find Natascha Kampusch. Wolfgang Přiklopil was even an early suspect — because a witness had seen Kampusch taken in a white van, like his — but police dismissed him.He also set her a daily schedule to ensure she completed the household tasks set, while also being able to continue her studies. Including the books and radio he supplied for her, he later bought things Natascha requested, including a TV, a desk and chair, games, books, and magazines.
