Edward Debicki, a member of the Polska Roma, recounts his childhood and youth in "Totenvogel," reflecting on the happy years of wandering and the suffering endured under the German occupation. Without sentimentality, and with the clear-eyed perspective of a boy who had to endure the worst, he shares his experiences to ensure that what happened and the people lost are not left to oblivion. A rare portrait of a community emerges, one that remains largely hidden and for which there are few testimonies regarding its fate during World War II.
