    Overview

    Summary
    Videotape testimony of Friedrich L., a Catholic Romani, who was born in Frankfurt, Germany in 1915, one of eight children. He recalls their traveling musical show; expulsion from the national musicians organization and no longer being allowed to travel due to anti-Romani laws; escaping with his sister to Yugoslavia (they were the only survivors); posing as a German musician; Ustašas burning a barn filled with people; living in Austria; returning to Munich after the war; meeting his wife; and performing with his son because all his colleagues had been killed. Mr. L. discusses not speaking of these years because it is too difficult; chronic health problems resulting from the war; and present anti-Romani violence.
