In 1995, Aad Wagenaar published his book SETTELA .   The book recounts Aad's  quest to discover the identity of the haunting  face staring out of a cattle truck.  After two years of painstaking research in dusty war archives, after months of talking to Jewish Holocaust survivors, Wagenaar, a journalist from Holland, found his answer from  a Sinti Gypsy survivor who had sat behind Settela on the train. 

 

The girl was not a Jewish child, as had been assumed for so long.  She was a

Sintezza.   She was  9 years old.  She was en route to Auschwitz, to her death.

 

The English translation of Wagenaar's book, first published by Five Leaves in 2005 (with an afterword by Ian Hancock), has been reprinted by Lamorna Publications.
