Surviving Auschwitz meant both duty and responsibility to the Berlin Sinto and civil rights activist Otto Rosenberg. More than 50 years after the Second World War, he completed his autobiography\u00a0Das Brennglas\u00a0<\/em>(published in English as\u00a0A Gypsy in Auschwitz<\/em>).\u00a0Harrowing, memorable and laconic, he describes his childhood in Berlin, the horrors of the concentration camps as a youth, and the continuation of life in Germany after the war.<\/p>\n

In BERLIN GLOBAL, Petra Rosenberg, chairwoman of the Association of German Sinti and Roma Berlin-Brandenburg e.V. and the Berlin-Marzahn Concentration Camp Memorial, will read from her father’s memoirs. A subsequent conversation will focus on the aftermath of the Nazi crimes on a family and societal level, as well as civil rights work in Berlin and Germany since the Holocaust.<\/p>\n

Host: Jana Mechelhoff-Herezi, Head of Remembrance of Sinti and Roma, Foundation Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n
