A Hole in the Head

Little is known about the tragedy of the Roma and Sinti during World War II. They were murdered by the tens, hundreds and thousands, in concentration camps, by the edges of mass graves and roadsides, by rifle butts, hammers or gas. Silence surrounds them. For years they existed and still exist on the edges of society. They survived and keep their memory and scars as proof. In a world where fasciscm is once again prevalent, they are some of the last living witnesses to the Holocaust. They exist with a hole in their head, an imprint from the past.
