a| Videotape testimony of Gertrud B., a Romani. She recalls childhood in Prussia, then Danzig; arrest and incarceration in a camp; deportation by cattle car to Auschwitz at age fifteen; the trauma of being tattooed; becoming ill; nine weeks in the infirmary; her sister feigning an injury to join her; being thrown on a pile of corpses; her sister retrieving and nursing her; her father playing music for the barrack elder; transfer to Flossenbürg after two years, then Graslitz; forced labor in a munitions factory; severe punishments and beatings (she shows her scars); liberation by United States troops; seeking relatives; marriage; and the births of six children. Mrs. B. tells of sharing her story with her children and grandchildren; feeling that if this happened again she would commit suicide; and ill health due to the years in concentration camps. Agnes B. appears briefly.
