Sophie R. Holocaust testimony (HVT-2796) interviewed by Gabrielle Tyrnauer

Videotape testimony of Sophie R., a Romani, who lived in Germany, one of eight children. She recalls imprisonment in Stuttgart; deportation to Auschwitz in 1941; the deaths of her parents and siblings; transfer to Ravensbrück, then to a munitions factory; a death march from Oldenburg to Dachau; liberation by United States troops; recuperating for six months, living in Munich; marriage; her strong faith in Jesus leading to her very honest lifestyle; surgical removal of her tattoo; and reluctance to share her experience with her children lest they hate Germans. Mrs. R.'s daughter and granddaughter comment on present difficulties for Romanies in Germany.
