From

"On the morning after Kristallnacht,
Toby Sonneman's father walked through
broken glass to apply for the visa that
saved him from the fate of so many during
the Third Reich. In examining her own
family history, the author discovered
the similarities between the fate of the
Jews and the Gypsies in the Holocaust,
both peoples selected on racial grounds
for extermination by the Nazis."
She traveled with an American Gypsy survivor
to Munich, where she stayed with the formidable
Rosa Mettbach. This is the story of Rosa
and other members of an extended family
who survived the Holocaust. Shared Sorrows
tells the story of a Gypsy family against
the backdrop of a Jewish one, detailing
and examining their shared sufferings
under the Nazis.
