Gypsy In Auschwitz

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 'Why did I survive when so many others did not?' Otto was just nine years old when his family was captured in Berlin. All around him, Sinti and Roma families were being torn from their homes and broken up, many of them disappearing altogether. When Otto arrived in Auschwitz, he, as so many others, suffered unimaginable humiliation and suffering, and witnessed horrific violence and dehumanisation of his fellow Sinti. He had a brush with Dr Mengele, got caught up in a riot and nearly lost his life an astonishing number of times. Somehow though, through luck, sheer human will to live, or both, he survived. Deeply moving and unforgettable, A Gypsy in Auschwitz is the incredible true story of how a young Gypsy boy miraculously survived the unimaginable darkness of the Holocaust.
