Videotape testimony of Bartolmej D., a Catholic Romani, who was born in Šaštín, Czechoslovakia (presently Slovakia) in 1924. He recalls his parents encouraging education; attending the local school; cordial relations with other ethnic groups; his father's government employment; his mother and sisters working for Jews; a Jewish physician who did not charge for treating them; restrictions of Romani rights under the Hlinka guard beginning in 1939; his brothers' deportation for forced labor; trying to comfort the local Jews when they were rounded-up and deported; cruel treatment by Hlinka guard; assistance from the priest and other locals; and negative changes in the Romani way of life in the 1960s when they were forced to move to cities.
