Note
See departmental files for an article about the "Gypsy" children of St. Josefspflege, in Germany, by Johannes Meister. The children were deported to Auschwitz early in 1944. These are the last films of them before deportation. Also, refer to files for a one-page contract identifying rights.
The BA files contain very little information.
