Beginning in the 1930s, Berlin's Sinti and Roma families were being torn from their homes by Nazis, and they disappeared or were "sent East." Only 16, Otto Rosenberg arrives in Auschwitz and is later transferred to Buechenwald and Bergen-Belsen. Contending with starvation and illness, he also joins an armed revolt of prisoners who, facing the SS and certain death, refuse to back down. In this compelling account, he shares his story with a remarkable simplicity, recounting how he miraculously survived.
