Summary:Videotape testimony of Jan B., a Catholic Romani, who was born in Sásová, Czechoslovakia (presently Slovakia) in 1924, one of twelve children. He recounts his family's poverty; attending school; a local priest and teacher taking an interest in him; continuing school in Banská Bystrica; persecution of Romanies after the formation of the Slovak state; forced labor with his father building roads under harsh conditions; threat of deportation by the Hlinka guard; commiserating with the Jews; observing their deportations; his family hiding a Jewish girl; her discovery; joining the partisans; blowing up railroads in many locations; equal treatment of him and other Romanies in the partisans; receiving food from local Romanies; liberation eight months after joining the partisans; returning home; good treatment under the communists; and persecution more recently. He notes the Hlinka and Germans were equally cruel and the murder of many of his family, including his sister.
