Throughout that period the Nazi policy of extermination directed against our minority was largely ignored or, at most, relegated to a footnote both in the writing of history and in commemorative works.

Cf. Erich Hackl, Abschied von Sidonie (Zürich: Diogenes, 1989). Hackl has written a novel based on the authentic story of the Sinti girl Sidonie Adlersburg who fell victim to Nazi genocide. The book served as a pattern for a movie directed by Karin Brandauer (Abschied von Sidonie, script by Erich Hackl, produced by ORF and Bayerischer Rundfunk 1990) and was used as the basis for school lessons dealing with the Holocaust
(Rosemarie Fischer/Günter Krapp, ‘Erich Hackl, Abschied von Sidonie’: Unterrichtsvorschläge und Materialien (Rot a.d. Rot: Krapp & Gutknecht, 1998).
