Memorial a los Sinti y Roma · Audioguía

Historia

In Berlin's Tiergarten, near the city centre, a stone sits in dark water. Every day, a fresh flower is placed on it. This is the Memorial to the Sinti and Roma—half a million murdered by the Nazis, forgotten for decades.

One of them was a boy named Mano. In nineteen forty-three, at eight years old, he was ripped from his family at Auschwitz. An SS guard beat his father before they could even embrace.

Mano was alone. Auschwitz. Ravensbrück. Sachsenhausen. Year after year, just a number tattooed on his arm. Nothing else.

When the war ended, he collapsed on a road. Liberated prisoners found him—he couldn't even say his own name. So traumatized he'd forgotten who he was.

A UN worker identified him by his tattoo. Just numbers. But those numbers led him home to Munich. His mother, father, sister—all alive. A miracle he couldn't believe.

For fifty years, Mano said nothing. The trauma lived inside him. Only as an old man did he speak. His testimony is now required reading in every German school.

That stone still waits. The flower rises and falls. And Mano's name—like thousands of others—will never be forgotten again. download the app to hear more stories and follow for more.
