Description
Aad Wagenaar, a Dutch journalist, decided to discover the identity of a girl whose image had haunted him all his life. She appears for seven seconds on a film of a transport bound for Auschwitz.
His task took him two years, leading from the Westerbork transit camp in Holland, to war archives, and to Jews who had survived Auschwitz. It had always been assumed that the girl in the wagon was Jewish. But Wagenaar had been looking in the wrong place. His search led him to the Dutch Sinti (Gypsy) community where he could finally tell the world who the girl was.
The child was Settela, from a Gypsy family, murdered in Auschwitz. She was ten years old. This book is Aad Wagenaars account of his search
