A selection of testimonies:

“We were put in bunkers. We were surveilled by the Romanian police, day and night. We were sent there to die.” (Maria)

“The police convinced the leader of the camp that the Roma would lead a better life close to the Bug. The journey was long and deadly. The weakest were killed along the way.” (Diamante & Ilie S.)

“My family was sedentary. My parents had land and animals. We were deported by train. Once arrived, they put us in the stables.” (Alexandrina)
