The genocide of the Gypsies by the Nazis has not received that much attention. After the final liberation of the death camps in 1945, Gypsy survivors did not commit their stories to paper but, in most cases, tried to forget the horrors they had experienced. A few passed on their accounts by word of mouth. The authors of this book first began to assemble documentation and gather eyewitness accounts in 1969 in order to support claims for reparations. In the years since, more stories have emerged. Some Gypsies fought with the partisans and some non-Gypsies tried to protect them at the risk of their own lives.
