05 | View of the permanent exhibition at the Heidelberg Documentation and Cultural Centre. For the general public, the exhibitions staged by the Centre highlighted for the first time the scale of the genocide perpetrated on the Sinti and Roma. Historical private and family photos belonging to the Sinti and Roma are an integral part of the exhibitions. These first-hand accounts convey a different view of the minority, in stark contrast with the traditional clichéd images of ‘the Other’.
