Curse on the Gypsies produced by Sueann Fincke ; a production by MPH Entertainment, Inc. for the History Channel ; A & E Television Networks.

Publication | Digitized | Library Call Number: VHS-0193

Overview

Summary: Gypsies, or "Rom", are a centuries old race without a homeland. Misconceptions about Rom occur because of the gypsy tradition of keeping an oral history rather than a written record of the people. Hence, outsiders have provided many misconceptions about the nomadic gypsies as fortune-tellers, thieves, and prostitutes. This nomadic culture has endured persecution, hatred, and even murder for centuries. This program helps dispel some misconceptions about gypsies.
