A wonderful historical recounting of a forgotten segment
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This book brings to light some of the other populations that have faced discrimination for centries, the gypsies. Folts has personal knowledge that shines through the horror of Nazi Germany's devastating era. Everyone who is concerned about history repeating itself, should read this book. This is discrimination and scapegoating at its worst. Man's inhumanity to man. The book is well documented and thoughtfully written without sentiment.
