Alexander Ramati's evocative story of the little-known Gypsy holocaust portrays the life and customs of the Lowland Gypsies with the love born of knowledge. But above all it is a story from World War II, powerfully brought to light and life, based closely on suppressed and refuted, hardly-known historical facts.
