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 camp survivors, Wagenaar, a journalist from Holland, found his answer in the caravan  of 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, has just been reprinted by Lamorna Publications.
