H15 TRANSNISTRIA (UA)
In 1942, eight-year-old Anuta
Branzan and her family were
forcibly relocated - together with
30,000 other Romanian Roma
and Sinti - from Bucharest to
Transnistria, on the border with
Ukraine. The camps were mostly
consisted of primitive huts, and
many of the deportees had to sleep
out in the fi elds or in barns. Anuta
survived two years of hunger and
forced labour under inhuman
conditions there. More than half of
the other deportees did not.
