Viewed with Radu Ioanid 3/8/02. Description edited, as Radu determined that only the scene following the intertitle on Gypsies is relevant to that group. Radu commented that these are nomadic Gypsies, who were among the Gypsy groups deported to Transnistria in the spring and summer of 1942, under Antonescu. The earlier scenes are of peasants. - Copied From
