From family fun in a Gypsy camp in Germany to survival in a Berlin labor camp to Auschwitz at age 15 to Buchenwald and later Bergen-Belsen, Otto tells his personal story of great loss and heartless privation in a matter-of-fact way to Ulrich Enzenberger (with translation by Maisie Musgrave). The German racial cleansing program started earlier than war, and there are only rare accounts for the deaths of the many Roma, Sinti, homosexual or other non-desirable minorities.
His narrative goes on, including much of his life after the end of the war (he lived 1927-2001) and his work toward establishing civil rights and holocaust recognition for the Sinti and Roma people.
His daughter, Petra, adds more to his story after the war in an epilogue and provides meaningful endnotes.
