Six Inuit snatched by Denmark 70 years ago demand compensation

Survivors of group of 22 say they were deprived of their families and culture when taken from Greenland

Six Inuit who were snatched from their families in Greenland and taken to Denmark 70 years ago are demanding compensation from Copenhagen for a lost childhood.

In 1951, Denmark took 22 children from its former colony away from their families, promising them a better life and the chance to return to Greenland as part of a new Danish-educated elite.
