In the summer of 1933, when thousands of German people still regarded Hitler as their idol and lived "uplifting" lives, the Rosa family in southern Germany had to face days that were getting worse day by day. Originally, my father used a large wagon to take his family from one village to another, doing business everywhere. As the eldest son, Ernst liked this kind of free life very much. However, due to the obviously unfair management policies implemented by the Nazi Party towards the Gypsies, the father's business suffered a heavy blow. Coupled with the birth of the fourth child, the family's situation became worse, and the forced intervention of the city government finally led to the family being forced to separate. At that time, Ernst Rosa was only three years old. After that, his mother died, his father was sent to a concentration camp, and Ernst was sent to an orphanage, where everyone called him a "descendant of Gypsies."
