"Poland, 1943"-Heinrich Himmler orders the mass deportation of
Gypsies to concentration camps. Sasha Karmazin, a Gypsy woman
living in Warsaw, Poland, is torn from her family by the Gestapo
and must leave behind her Polish husband, Henryk, and her two
teenage sons, Karl and Dimitri. After being transported to
Auschwitz, Europe's largest Nazi concentration camp, Sasha is
forced to work as an interpreter for the Nazis. Her survival
depends on her wits, and she will do anything to stay alive.
"Nebraska, 1984"-Beth Karmazin, a beautiful, bronze-skinned
young woman and daughter of Karl Karmazin, is all too aware of her
Gypsy heritage. But when she learns that her grandmother Sasha,
presumed to be dead, is accused of having taken a Nazi lover and
collaborating with the Nazi's while at Auschwitz, Beth is
determined to prove her grandmother's innocence.
Beth's commitment takes her on a three-year quest deep into
Communist-controlled Eastern Europe at the height of the Cold War,
a journey that changes not only her life, but also the course of
history.
Seamlessly moving from the turbulent 1940s to the 1980s, "The
Gypsy in My Soul" creates a riveting portrait of one woman's
devotion to family-and to uncovering the truth.
