dark emotional sad fast-paced
Often when reading books regarding the Holocaust, we often neglect to talk about those other than the Jewish people. Otto Rosenberg was a Sinti person who survived the Auschwitz concentration camps. This book highlighted the unforgivable behaviours of the Nazis and the impact that the Holocaust had on its survivors. The book was easy to read and I couldn’t put it down. However, it is quite triggering and does not shy from the horrors experienced in the camps.
I will definitely be using this book as a resource for my Year 10 Holocaust unit in future.

Mai sabrem prou sobre l’Holocaust i, amb aquest llibre, he pogut descobrir una realitat força desconeguda: la del poble gitano, que també va ser massacrat pel règim nazi. El relat d’Otto Rosenberg, supervivent, m’ha permès conèixer el periple que van passar els gitanos a Alemanya fins que van acabar als coneguts camps de concentració: com se’ls va prendre tot, se’ls va negar la seva nacionalitat i se’ls va tractar com si fossin animals. A més, gràcies a aquesta història he descobert noms camps de concentració i treball que desconeixia!
