| Summary: | Verzio FF
Memories of Roma men who were interned in labor camps in Slovakia during WWII. Of approximately 1,350 Roma who were forced to build a strategic railroad in eastern Slovakia, only seven are alive today. The film not only collects their testimonies but also shows rare footage from 1942, when Slovak president Josef Tiso visited the construction site. The film compares the wartime experience of the Roma with the reality they face today. Neither the landscape, nor the buildings, nor the railroad have changed in 60 years. And what about the people? |
