This review is from: And the Violins Stopped Playing (Coronet Books) (Paperback)

Roman Mirga and his family leave the city to return to their family clan when they discover that Gypsies are being rounded up and relocated to camps for extermination. At first the clan does not believe him but the relocation of a nearby gypsy group convinces the group to flee. As they travel to the Hungarian border, many gypsies are lost along the way. Upon reaching Hungary, they are able to spend nearly a year wandering up and down the country. However, when Germany invades Hungary, the gypsies are rounded up and sent to Auschwitz. Once in Auschwitz, Roman becomes a translator for Dr. Josef Mengele while his father plays the violin to calm the Jews as they enter the crematoriums. Moving, this is an interesting look at an often overlooked group targeted during the Holocaust.
