On May 19, 1944, at the Westerbork transit camp, a glimpse of Sinti girl Settela Steinbach wearing a headscarf appears between the sliding doors of a cattle car awaiting deportation to Auschwitz.
In May 1945, her father, Moeselman Steinbach, wrote to “Repatriation” in the Netherlands: “...I very politely request you to inform me whether my wife and 10 children have arrived, or only children (Gypsy children) from the Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland.” Full post at https://settela.com/2026/05/19/genocide-20260519/
