A Tale

Published by:

The DDR book “Nackt unter Wölfen” [Naked among wolves] was for a long time a classic. A tale of heroic communists who liberated Buchenwald from inside, and who saved a Jewish child. The child effectively existed and survived. But survived he did because another child was sent to his death in Auschwitz. He was a Sinto.
