Abschied Von Sidonie (German Edition)
by Susan Tebbutt
Category: Social Science

Explores the life of the Sinti and Roma in Germany, their representation in German literature, and the relationship between the German and Romani languages. Gives background to Gypsy maltreatment and underlines the fact that the persecution of Gypsies during the Nazi period did not cease until 1945. The continuity of anti-Gypsy sentiment is traced to the present day, and efforts and achievements of the Sinti and Roma civil rights movement are highlighted.
